Thankful Thursday

August 27, 2009

Today feels like a list kind of day. :)

Little gifts are the best…

  • a quiet time rest with my oldest girl…her little hand resting on my cheek.
  • earplugs that let me sleep soundly while Hombre hangs with Jimmy Kimmel.
  • a cool breeze in my face when I’m so tired I feel like I can’t breathe.
  • pages in a book written over decades ago that speak exactly to the struggles I face at this very moment.
  • my baby’s voice…and how she says “my” for “I”…like “my’m okay mommy”.
  • a moment of victory in the life of a four year old…she came to me and said “mommy, I was going to get the brown sugar and eat it, but I knew I shouldn’t and I stopped!” 
  • you’re gonna laugh at this one…weeds.  I find so much comfort in the never-ending presence of a job to be done.
  • a restful, uninterrupted night of sleep.  this a rare and precious treasure!

 

What are the little things that made your week a gift?
