thankfulness

While my little middle is keeping me very busy cleaning up, correcting and training... I'm trying so hard to practice patience and love instead of fussing. I have been encouraged by this post.

There are so many things I can be thankful for this week...

grandparents so close they can stop by for snuggles,
or to hear a song and play doctor for awhile

bright and i read a book this week, Where Children Sleep, (click link to read online) that has opened the door for many real and heartfelt conversations. it's a look at how children all over the world live, eat and spend their days... eye opening for my 5 year old who spends all her nights in comfort after fun filled and easy days.
take time to read it and look at the pictures with your little ones.

Thank you Lord for warm beds to sleep in, clean water for bathing and drinking. yummy food in the fridge, a roof over out heads and bright hope for tomorrow.
