A while back the "leader" of the gratitude community posted about things that she praised God for- even things you wouldn't necessarily consider. Things that may weigh a mom and wife down. Things that seem at the time to be more of a burden than a blessing. Today I concentrate on these... realizing that they are a true blessing... because of the meaning behind them. For these I thank God... remembering His multitude of blessings.
495. fingerprints on a mirror just cleaned - the little hands that left them there
496. an abundance of laundry needing to be folded and put away - the clothes that we have been provided
497. a refrigerator that breaks during the middle of the week - the reality that we have food to nourish our bodies
498. sometimes cranky children who sometime show disrespect - an opportunity to mold hearts closer to His image - and the gentle reminder from our Lord who reminds me of my heart needing constant molding.
499. a house in need of constant tidying... a place to rest our heads at the end of a busy day
500. bills in need of payment - God's constant never-ending provisions
501. morning routine - rousing the boys to do their chores - molding young men to be helpers and hard workers
502. the pains and aches of a momma heavy with child - new life soon to come
503. back to the routine of school - the opportunity to train my children at home
504. the soon coming heat and humidity - a few last days to play in the ocean waters and enjoy the fleeting days of summer
Just bounced over from Ann's.
