Every single day we are surrounded with blessings, many of which we neglect to pause and notice. I am guilty of this myself, all too often… what grace the Lord shows us through His gentle reminders to give thanks, to count our blessings, and to rejoice. Here are just a few things I have seen and/or remembered today, enumerated in no particular order. 🙂
- cooler temperatures as summer comes to an end
- freshly-mown grass
- times to talk over everything with my dearest, and the oneness we share in Christ
- stacks of clean diapers, ready for use
- learning, in a deeper sense, to abide in Christ, and His patience with His children
- red & bright pink flowers visible from our front porch and kitchen windows
- smiles from our little man
- time to read together
- the ability to venture into the kitchen in the middle of the night, with the purpose of satisfying my ravenous Mommy-cravings, without meeting a cockroach or cricket or spider… usually 🙂
What are YOU grateful for?
In the busyness of life, it is easy to forget the blessings the Lord is bestowing on us everyday. Thank you for the reminder…and that sweet baby in those eclipse glasses is just too cute!
Jason looks hilarious in those eclipse glasses. 🙂
