“The more I count these blessings, the more I realize that they really are not the product of my own efforts. They are truly gifts of grace from God above. It’s incredible to open my eyes to them week after week. And humbling. That I should be graced with such wonders? Me… whose heart is weak and black, yet covered with much mercy. How great is Your unfailing love, Lord God of all!”
These are what I’m thankful for from the month of December:
85. Little hats worn by little people
86. Warm snowsuits
87. The game of Loaded Questions that was very fun to play
88. That Jared had 10 days off over Christmas and New Year’s (including week-ends) in addition to the 4 weeks holidays that he gets throughout the year
89. Ice cream sundae waffles
90. All the food + treats we had at Christmastime
91. Naptime
92. Baby smiles
93. The Gap gift card we got from Jared’s boss and they were having major sales there when we went the week before Christmas. We got 2 shirts for Blake for $20 total and they normally would have been double that!
94. For making it through Wal-Mart a week before Christmas (on a Friday evening) unharmed…the crowds were insane in there!
95. For a husband who loves spending time with his kids
96. For Jesus…the reason why Christmas exists!

Wasn't it Art who said that one of the best emotions is gratefulness? We all have so much to be grateful for!! Love Mom.
Those pictures of the children with hats made me smile. And the one of the baby napping... So precious! What a joy to find your blog today (followed a link from Cherry Blossom). Thanks for sharing your beauty and great photos. Blessings...
