Today, I got a lot done and I am thankful for that. All the kids helped me put together puzzles and over half had all their pieces (I am thankful for that--but dumbfounded by how they lost so many pieces in the past 2 months!) EGADS! I am thankful the girls played nicely while I worked on my Bible study. I am thankful that there are 40,000 other women also taking part on this online study. It is exciting knowing that many others are working on it with me.
I am thankful for the time I had to prepare for grocery shopping tomorrow and I am thankful for coupons! They really help save money! I am thankful for the smell of gingerbread-- mmmm...I baked some for my good friend Julie, whose birthday is today. I am thankful for my close relationship with her. She is someone I can talk to when I am sad or happy. She is always there to listen and she has GREAT parenting advice. I also love that she will call me and come over at any time. (I am not the best at reaching out to people--I definitely need to work on this. So people like Julie are so important in my life.)
I am thankful for my girls and how well they play together. I loved listening to Alaina teach Talia how to play Frozen. And how she got her to sing the songs. I love how Alaina brings me home pictures she colored for me (almost everyday) in an envelope that says "To Mom"
I love how I was able to go through the kids toys (up and downstairs) and I have collected 2 bins of toys to get rid of. Less truly is MORE! I will stash them in the basement and if there is no mention of them by June, they are toys they don't need or want and I will get rid of them. (I don't love how messy my basement is with all this stuff to get rid of! But I am thankful that we have more than enough--and we will learn how to be more sustainable and have less.)
I love knowing that my husband will most likely put fresh sheets on our bed soon and then help me fold laundry--and I don't have to ask, he just does. I love how he is my partner and just helps. I am so thankful for him.
I love one of my new verses for the week--I find that it helps me not just with my diet, but also in decluttering the house...
I Corinthians 10:23
Everything is permissible - but not everything is beneficial.
Yeah--that pretty much sums it up.
And now for a thankful verse...
Philipians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
