Monday's Gratitude....

I have so little time to blog these days, and that makes me so sad.  So many memories not yet recorded! I will catch up, at least blogging on the very most important things, one of these days...

But, today I need to stop and be thankful.

I am thankful....

* that life is overcoming death in my front yard!!  Every time I look outside, I swear, the grass gets just a tad more green!!  I am always amazed at how God breathes life into death right before our eyes.  I never get over it!  The flowers blooming, trees budding, bees buzzing.... Oh, how the earth awakens after lying dormant for months! Seasons, I never get over you!!  What a beautiful design by an amazing Creator!!

*  Little boys with sling shots and home-made bows and arrows playing in the warm sunshine.

* A babysitter who not only kept three of my children safe and cared for overnight, but also showed them a wonderful time ~ brownies, basketball, jello jigglers, and a meal out!  You are a gift, Laura!

*  Unique precious children that keep me on my toes and from ever being idle!  Laziness is not an option!

* Quiet mornings and busy days.  What will I remember when I look back on these days??

*  Dinner cooking slowly and making the whole house smell heavenly.

*  A frisky little squirrel, that the boys nicknamed "the aggravator,"  has figured out how to climb the roses and get to our birdfeeder.  Uggghhhh....

*  Emery saying, "Thank you!"  Makes my day!

* A fun evening ahead ~ watching the championship game!

*  A God who knows, cares, loves, fills, and forgives....
