Here is what is filling up my Thanks Tank today:
1. Kind Neighbors: My neighbor brought me fresh locally grown raspberries today. What a treat!
2. Enduring Love: God’s love endures forever and I was reminded of that this morning—see Psalm 138:8 and Psalm 136
3. Elsie: She is 8 months old today. She's my doll!
4. Moonlit and starry nights: The other night my dh (dear hubby) and I sat outside admiring the beautiful sky. The moon was bright and beautiful. On another night this week, my dog woke me up in the middle of the night. As I was grumbling and letting him outside, I noticed how many stars were brightly shinning while the town was dark.
5. Costumes: My boys surprised me today and got out the dress up clothes. It had been a while. They love pretending and I love to watch their imagination run wild. (I love that even the oldest isn't too big to enjoy it!)
6. Learning: I am thankful that I am still learning about myself and my dh. This week we discovered the personality Enneagram. It is such a joy to continue to learn new things about myself and my husband.
7. Bikes, inline skates, tennis shoes, and the pool: I have enjoyed all of these things this week. The exercise feels wonderful!
8. Summer Nights: Tonight after dinner, I went outside to swing Elsie. The boys soon followed and discovered I was watering part of the yard. They were back in and out with their swimsuits on in record speed. It was a beautiful night to laugh, blow bubbles, push a baby in a swing and watch kids run in the sprinkler.
Thanks for reading my thankful thoughts! I hope it encourages you in some way to take time to be thankful.
Great thankfuls, and I enjoyed the pictures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful list, Jane Anne.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could water around here. Your yard looks lush and inviting. No wonder the boys were so quick to don swimsuits! Looks like they had a great time. : )
I cannot believe your sweet girl is already eight months. She is just precious.
I miss the dress up days. My JD Green just got rid of all his costume clothing this summer.
Have a blessed weekend, friend.
What a great Thanks list. I might have to steal this idea, although I think it's great that you're the only person I know that does this. I love the Star Wars pic, my 2 boys have been so obsessed with SWs after we got the Star Wars Lego Wii game.
ReplyDeleteMom said library time was extra fun this week!
