Gratitude

I will sing to the LORD all my life;
   I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
May my meditation be pleasing to him,
   as I rejoice in the LORD.
                                      ~Psalm 104:33-34

233-245

our boy thriving through first football practices and excited for more
our girl patiently attending 2.5hr Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday - first week of football practice
the stories he's already telling

an unexpected "thank you" for one of my duties

hearing that her favorite part of this day was when I read to them

this quote from http://www.graceisforsinners.com/
"...you’ll find who you are in Him, not in who you’ve tried to be."

our boy ecstatic for a weekend with his Daddy
a girl weekend, with my mother and my daughter

arriving home safely
a warm shower
sleeping in our bed- in just a few minutes!
knowing that the pictures & gifts of the weekend will wait until next Monday



holy experience
