Things that have filled me with gratitude and love lately:
1, Bedtime with my kids. I love that they wiggle out of their blankets after I have already tucked them in and tell me I need to come tuck them in again, just so we can get one more little snuggle moment in before they have to go to bed. Or how Coltrin makes sure I have given him a good night kiss on the head and he gives me one on the cheek. Or snuggling Eddie in and covering his cheeks with kisses, then watching his eyes light up with warmth and love just before he falls asleep. I love that he is 5 years old. It is such a great age.
2. Jentri’s birthday party. I am grateful for family that supports me and loves my children. Ember’s gift was the hit of the party, of course. She’s always the favorite aunt.
3. Watching Jentri at basketball practice the other day. She is new to the sport, but she’s a natural and she works hard. It’s going to be a fun season!
4. Work. I love working! I love the tasks and challenges that come each day with it, and I love getting to help people.
5. I am grateful that Sidney has a job that she enjoys and can learn financial independence and responsibility through. I love her independence.
6. Anja’s love and passion for storytelling and writing. She is so creative and driven by it. I love that she spends her time productively.
7. The patience the Lord has allowed me to exercise lately. I’m working so hard to have patience and am so grateful for His help.
Forever grateful!
