The last two weeks have been
insane for me! The girls had their annual dance recital, Noah had baseball and football conditioning, speech therapy, a surgery, 6 formal assessment to be given to my students (yes...I teach
pre-K), and life's normal demands (you know the ones...cooking, cleaning, showering :).
One evening, I was rushing from picking up Noah at the football field across a parking lot to grab the girls from their dress rehearsal. I looked down and this is what I was carrying in my hand...
So, taking Ann Voskamp's advice (
http://onethousandgifts.com/), I decided instead of grumbling in my head about the rushing, or the fact I am totting half of the kids stuff, or countless other things I could complain about...I decided to give thanks! I am so thankful that God blessed me with boys and girls. I love a beautiful ballet recital....watching my lovely girls twirl and tap. However, I also love a good rough and tumble football game. Thankfully, I can enjoy both.
Here are a few other moments that I had this past week that have given me reason to give thanks...
Chloe reading Isaac a bedtime story.
Noah and Malachi scooting.
The flowers Anna brought me from the woods.
