We love him so.I'm grateful for kids that are best friends that love and take good care of each other.
Reese spent a good portion of yesterday afternoon holding her sister and helping her feel better (without being asked). I am so proud of her for recognizing that she could do something to help her family and then for taking action. Way to go, Reese!I'm grateful for medicine. From my sister having just spent a week in a hospital to all the friends and family I have that are sick right now, I am so grateful for the medicine, doctors, hospitals and vaccines that we have available to us in this country. There is no reason for anyone here to suffer from an illness that could have been prevented with immunizations. I am grateful to have access to medicine that keeps my children well.
I'm grateful for power tools that make simple projects even more simple
I'm grateful for this guy, who wakes up 20 minutes earlier every morning to rebuild the fire and bring a bunch of firewood inside out of the rain so we will be toasty and warm all day. He came home an hour early yesterday when I told him Quincy was sick, and even though I had dinner planned, he jumped in and made it, just because. He takes out the trash, he gives kids meds, reads them books every day, he expresses gratitude for things I do, he takes the kids every Tuesday night so I can go serve the Young Women at church, and he humored me and spent our date night at a 3 hour Madrigal Feast where the local Chamber Choir sang and performed dinner theatre (in Medieval Costumes) while we ate. I know it wasn't his first choice for how to spend our date, but he went because he knew I would love it, and we had a great time. These things and so many more, he does for me and I am grateful for him.I am grateful for this season of giving, to remind me of all that I have been blessed with, and all that I have to share.
