Thankful Heart

I've been feeling like I'm just going through the motions lately while caring for my family and working. My reading has consisted of "Curious George" and "So that's what they're for"- about breasfeeding so I don't feel like I have a lot to say. But after reading a couple other people's blogs tonight I was reminded that it is the little things in everyday life that are worth being thankful for and I decided it was worth taking the time to record some of those moments.

1. Matthew's giggle
2. Finding a new park to explore
3. Reading books to Matthew and hearing - read it again
4. Watching Steve grow through hard times
5. Rain followed by rainbows
6. Seeing God meet our needs
7. Watching Matthew chase squirrels in the back yard
8. Quick and easy dinner recipes
9. Strawberry Shortcake
10. Hearing Matthew pray "Dear Jesus....Amen"
11. Pillows...I sleep with 4 right now!
12. Nap time - for Matthew and Mommy!
13. Tissues - Matthew gave me his cold.
14. A husband who works hard to provide for his family. (not so little and always worth listing)
15. Flowers in all forms.

For these and many more I am thankful. I know I am richly blessed and it is always good to cultivate a thankful heart.
