I missed last week, so I thought I'd make up for it by doing this week early. I've got to be honest and say last week I was struggling with being thankful...blinded by wants or needs and overlooking what I've been richly blessed with already. God's definitely working in my heart in that area. So, I am thankful for...
101. a Heavenly Father that is persistent in loving and growing us.
102. a super fun time at the pumpkin patch last weekend. The kids loved it and it was fun to do something fall-ish.
103. our home. I don't love a lot about this house. And I don't love renting. BUT, I am very thankful for a home that has more than enough space for us, that is close to Sydney's school and soccer, that allows for easy walks around the neighborhood, and it's been the longest we've lived in any one place our whole marriage!
104. our van. Despite the fact that the auto door keeps malfunctioning when I pick Sydney up at school and I see 100 other gold Honda vans everywhere I go, our van has been VERY good to us the last 2 years and I am VERY thankful for it!
105. going away this weekend! Josh's work has gifted us a weekend away and we're taking it! We're heading down near Cincinnati and we're going to relax, explore, and see what the weekend brings :)
106. Pumpkin spice coffee creamer....it's amazing.
107. Popcorn! (did you know that you can microwave regular popcorn in a brown paper bag?? You can and it's easy, delicious, and WAAAAAAY better for you than store bought microwave popcorn)
108. weekends full of plans ahead of us....lots of family visits and traveling fun!!
109. that we've managed to survive almost 6 years of Sydney's early childhood with no major injuries (I have a feeling Miles will be a different story ;)
110. watching The Big Bang Theory episodes online....that show makes me laugh out loud :)
111. listening to Miles talk...it's the cutest thing ever.
112. our BSF lesson this week. We're studying Matthew 5 and it has been very
challenging and stretching (in a great way) and I'm super excited to
hear the lecture on Thursday and learn even more!!
"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Psalm 100:4-5
