As the weekend rapidly approaches; one filled with family and fun, I realize how much there is to be thankful for, always. When things are obvious to give thanks for, we do, but often we forget the little things.
1) For being a mommy... on a daily basis Alex does things that amaze me. He is so sweet and loving and caring. We were walking from Lance's sisters house to his dads house (about a half block) and Alex let go of my hand to run back to get his great-grandma's hand to hold. It was so sweet and tender and innocent. He was so proud of himself. I could tell it meant so much to her and, of course, to me.
2) Safe travel.... Lance's family made it here safely. Please pray for all that are traveling.
3) The ability to bake ... I am so glad that I taught myself to bake. It has saved us so much money in the long run.
4) Life's little blessings... While Lance was on the way to meet me at the airport to get his Grandma, he saw a bed for free (in decent shape) on the side of the road. He stopped and grabbed it. We needed it for our spare room for company to stay on this weekend. YAY!! No more worries about that.
5) Love ... the love my family, Lance's family, and everyone has for one another. I fully belive love should be expressed more often, more openly, and with more feeling than it currently is. However, it is there and it is awsome.
Thank you GOD!
Mmm...baking...we'll volunteer to be guinea pigs for you anytime! And Alex is so sweet to love on his granny like that. What a wonderful boy. Have fun with the family this weekend.
