Wordless Wednesday: Wet and Wild

Soccer Saturday Can be Hard

This past Saturday was the perfect Saturday for soccer. Unlike the last 2 Saturdays, one of which had 90 degree temperatures and the other of which had lots of rain, the weather was perfect.


Even with perfect weather, soccer Saturdays can be hard.

Our 3 boys play on 2 different teams. On Saturday, both games were being played at the same time.

It was hard for my oldest not to have Momma there to see him finish his game and earn his first win.

It was hard for Coach Dad to miss his youngest boys game.

It was hard to wait until after the game to go swing.

It was hard for the soccer mom to remember to get in a picture.


And, hardest of all, it was hard (traumatic even), to fall down in the wet grass.

Thursday Thanks Tank #105

Each Thursday I make a list of my thankful thoughts. I spend time throughout my day appreciating the little and big things in my life. My posted list gives you a glimpse of my thankful heart.

I am thankful for these things and so much more:

1. My niece's surgery went well
2. Encouragement from my husband
3. Impromptu Get-togethers with friends
4. Exercise
5. Cold, refreshing water
6. Baking
7. New Recipes
8. Peace in the middle of a storm
9. Sunshine
10. Friendly Neighbors
11. An Evening Walk
12. Soccer Saturdays
13. My kids...

Here's a picture of my kids last Saturday. We had been through one game in the pouring rain and we were at the end of the last game. My oldest was sitting out a quarter and the rest of the crew was cheering on the team. My kids make me smile. This picture makes me smile.


Thanks for stopping by. Take time a moment to be thankful for the big and small things in your life.
