Being Thankful in the Midst of Busyness

This week is a busy one for both Jared + I. I haven't had a whole lot of time to just sit and relax. My kids are finally napping at the same time as each other today, so I have time to quickly blog. Here's what I'm thankful for today:

139. A busy week after several not busy weeks (Kiera doesn't get as bored then)

140. Church

141. Play dates with friends

142. Comments on my blog and facebook

143. Bubbles


144. Vitamins

145. That God wants to increase our patience and trust in Him as we have been looking for a van for about a month now

146. Kiera's hugs + kisses

147. That I can see the grass now, even if it is brown

148. The people who pick up our garbage + recycling

149. Books

150. Trees

"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!"

Yaeh, it's inspiring reading your thankful lists. So Kiera likes activity...like Mother, like daughter, and perhaps like Nana too!
Love Mom.

I'm glad GOD's been speaking to as well even if you had to miss the retreat. We sure missed you there. GOD is beyond amazing!
