A Thankful Evening


"giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ"
Eph 5:20


Tonight we made leaves with Daddy and talked about all the things we are thankful to God for. It was such a sweet time. Some of the things on the list were God, hope, forgiveness, Daddy's job, eyes, hands, a cozy bed, noodles, our marriage, family, friends, our health, birthday parties, princesses, balloons (which Daddy brought home from one of his signs for work...we are helping the environment by reusing them before he pops them and throws them away), the sun, and smelly pens (which the kids were using to color with).

I love the fall in the NW. The fire, soup, colors, sweaters and scarfs...

The night was topped off by wrestling, a game of hide & go seek in the dark with flashlights, snuggle time with the newly checked out pile of books from the library (I hear Daddy reading the Beagle book right now...as Isaac keeps interjecting to explain the differences between them and Chihuahuas). God has given me such a WONDERFUL family! Help me not forget how blessed I am. Lord, please help me not to take them for granted or forget to be thankful for my fantastic life.
