I've been reading a few blogs and have come across one that always catches my heart. It is called A Holy Experience. I'm not the most religious person, nor even the most Christian, but this family amazes me. They live SOOO different that I. They are a farmer family. Anyways, she posted a link for a free download called 7 Gifts, which is based off the book entitled One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. I downloaded and printed right away. It is a week's worth of spaces you can fill in and record what you are most thankful for.
Sunday
brushing my teeth, text messages, people that disagree with my parenting style in public and feel the need to comment to me, cake, a husband that truly loves me, lip balm and witnessing miracles as they are born~
Monday
cream cheese, a happy morning, fluffy towels, being wanted, completing tasks, friends, email
Tuesday
great preschool teachers, loyalty, follow through, a good book, great makeup, beautiful children, picnics
Wednesday
Grayson's thank you letter to his 4th grade teacher (which made me cry), the sunset, Liam's laughter and "what's that", Brian's eyes--they are the most expressive eyes I've ever seen, Dale's job, being able to stay at home, Facebook
Thursday
hot showers, baby hugs & kisses, pitter patter of baby feet down the hallway, running vehicles, green smoothies, healthy children and prayer
Friday
flip flops, dishwashers, clean bathrooms, sleepy children, drums played well, Dale giving me a moment to breathe and sleeping in
As you can see, some a frivalous, some are serious, some are yummy, but they are all things I am truly thankful for. They are helping me live an emptier, but fuller life.
