"Rejoice always;
pray without ceasing;
in everything give thanks,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thess 5:16-18
Not always easy to do...
Especially when daddy's away on business.
And the housework threatens to overwhelm.
And sickness overtakes our bodies.
And the sun just doesn't seem to shine.
Yet the beauty through it all...
God-- in all His goodness-- provides.
And day by day, hour by hour, the blessings flow.
So this morning, after one doozy of a week, I offer thanks...
0109
two wonderful grandmoms... who selflessly help, who selflessly give, who selflessly love
0110
Sickness gone. Healthy bodies once again.
0111
daddy home after a week of travel
0112
vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds... as far as the eye can see
0113
well-crafted stories... that captivate, mesmerize, and inspire
0114
one child teaching another... with patience, encouragement, and understanding
0115
devoted mamas, gently leading their young, just as the Father intended
0116
glorious sunshine & cloudless skies after five long days of rain
0117
those five long days of rain and garden-life restored
0118
a family reunion... for Mosby!
8 energetic littermates
+ their very sweet mother
---------------------------------
a wonderful play date at the doggy park!
0119
"Is there anything I can help you with, Mom?"
0120
growing bigger every day
0121
"Don't forget to say your prayers," from one tired boy to his brother
0122
new challenges to strengthen & stretch us
new challenges to teach us to depend on the One who made us
0123
and this great comfort:
"The LORD will fight for you;
you need only to be still."
Exodus 14:14
and the list continues....

What a beautiful list you've shared today, thank you. Focusing on what we're thankful for always makes the trials seem less trying :) Love #19
Love the lists, the photos and the special cherubs in them! Love to all, Gmom. P.S. Mosby's friends are anxious to see him. They have abag of bones to share!
Oh my...I came by to take a peak at your list of gratitudes...and I'm leaving with conviction.
So many things on your list, I'm blessed with...and yet I didn't think to be thankful:)
Thank you for that.
I'm sure in your next list, you'll include "encouragement right when I need it" n'est-ce pas, Soccer Mom? :)
