Thankful

'Tis the season for thanks and I am really trying to focus on enjoying our little blessings this week.

Instead of how fat I feel, I am thankful for a halthy and strong body that allows me to do anything I want.

Instead of how messy my house is, I am thankful for our abundance toys and clothes to entertain and warm our little ones.

Instead of how many bills we have, I am thankful that we both have jobs and can afford what many cannot.

Instead of headaches from noise all day long, I am thankful for the little voice that just yelled down the stairs "Mommy, Gracie, Tater come eat pancakes!"

Instead of feeling too busy, I am thankful for quiet moments of being present with my kids. We read, we enter Gracie's new dog house she built and compliment her decorations of sharpie on the basketball hoop/front door.

Instead of Benny's nightly battle for bed, I am thankful for a safe warm place for my family to sleep.

Instead of sunday morning obligation, I am thankful for worship, faith and those that teach my kids about Jesus' love.

Another little voice is calling! "Mama! What do I smell like?! Like pancakes you are missing!" ha ha. Time to go!
