GRATITUDE!
I am feeling over come with gratitude these days. I feel that the Lord is helping me to see what I have and enjoy the now. I hear so much how crazy it is for my friends with 3 or 4 or 5 kids and they are in school and soccer and ballet and dance. The moms always say how much they miss the days when there kids were just home with them. I am trying to learn from them and to soak in every moment I have with my boys here at home with me. We have nothing going on (besides Isaac's preschool twice a week) that we don't plan ourselves. We just play these days. This beautiful weather takes us outside a lot and even if we aren't out there I just feel so peaceful with my doors open and a breeze blowing threw the house. I love the phase I am in with older boys who play together and tell me what they need and sleep together in the same room and keep each other company.
The Lord has also helped me to see that I am truly nothing with out him and am a fallen, lost soul with out his grace and mercy. Therefore, I should feel grateful everyday that I am here on earth in a body that works, doing what I choose to do with the knowledge necessary to have eternal joy! And that through NO merit of my own I can enter into eternal rest. What more could I ask for! I am determined to conquer my negative thoughts and truly be grateful for each day even if it's hard!
I AM truly grateful!
