Thankful Thursday

We are meeting for Thankful Thursday over at Grace Alone this month if you want to join us.

This week I am thankful for...

~ my husband's sweet ways, even when he is tired.  He has had several very long days this week and still he is so sweet and loving to me.  He makes me feel so special and loved. 

~ my little boy's excitement and enthusiasm for life and simple things.  When I walked to the mailbox earlier with the 3 year old I have been keeping he saw some sticks and picked them up.  I told him to put them up by the door for Caleb because I knew Caleb would like them.  When we got home from school, I told Caleb there were some sticks by the door for him.  Sure enough, he was thrilled with them and has been playing with them since, tapping them together with various beats. 

~ encouraging verses from God's Word.

~  fun family lessons on Wednesday nights.  I plan to share more about this week's lesson in our "Building Character" theme. 

~ seeing a bloom on my lantana.  This plan looked dead this summer and I wasn't sure it would make it.  I watered it and was excited to see green leaves again recently and then a little bloom as I was backing out of our driveway.

Have a day of blessings!

Isn't it amazing how much fun children can have with simple accessible things like twigs, etc.?
Hope you have a wonderful week!
