June Blessings

“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!” ~Sharaya Crossan

It’s been a little while since I’ve added to my thankful list with everything that has been going on in our lives.  Here are more things I’m thankful for:

761. Her clips as we are growing out her bangs – she either wants all of them or none of them

762. Apple scented dish detergent

763. Getting adjusted at the chiropractor

764. That my Grandma is in heaven…no more suffering!

765. Watching Kiera converse with Mickey Mouse

766. Sitting underneath a big tree while the sunlight filters through the branches

767. That my Grandparents celebrated their 60th anniversary!

768. Being barefoot outside

769. Watching the kids play in their pool for the first time this summer

770. That Jared is done his course this week Friday and then is going to take at least a year off from courses!  I am SO tired of solo parenting and he is SO tired of school, so the finish line is close!

771. This Strawberry Shortcake backpack I bought Kiera for Preschool…I don’t know who likes it more, me or her!  Oh, and it was on sale from $40 down to $16!

772. Plaid shorts

773. Getting pictures with each of my kids on Father’s Day (we forgot to on Mother’s Day)

774. Getting a picture of my Dad + I…probably the first Daddy/daughter picture since my wedding over 5 1/2 years ago!

775. Cloth covered hangers from my Grandma (the one in heaven)

776. This gift I got from a friend to remind me of my Grandma…that she’s home now and someday I will join her there.  It made me cry and was the perfect gift!

777. Watching him fall asleep

778. His cute overalls

779. That we went to Perkin’s for supper as a family…that was a treat!  I got Boston Cream pancakes which were very yummy!  The kids each got balloons which they both LOVE!

780. That another finish line is in sight: I am now 8 months pregnant, so I’m now in my final month of hopefully my final pregnancy! :)
