Thankful Thursday

1.  my husband's Sunday morning breakfast
2.  God is preparing a baby in China for some of our friends
3.  the love my kids have for each other
4.  temperatures below 100 degrees
5.  taking care of an infant for the second time has been much easier than the first time - so much less
     worrying and doubting our decisions!
6. dirty dishes - When I get tired of doing them, I remind myself that dirty dishes means we have full
    bellies.  Not everyone can say that. 
7. God is in control of my children's lives.  What a relief!  Parenting is so much more enjoyable
     when I remind myself of that.
8.  vacation to the farm
9.  shopping by myself
10.  a baby who now reaches for his mommy - totally melts my heart!
