....So many things!!!
when i was little, i remember saying my prayers at night with my family and then we would go around in a circle and say our "thankful fors" where we could list all the things we were thankful for that day.
So i thought what a better time to list just a few of the things i am thankful for this easter weekend..
*** The atonement ***
and the peace and comfort it brings me, as i learn more and more every day just how
UNPERFECTED i am.
because trying to raise a tiny person is an eye opening experience and a daily reminder that i have NO idea what i am doing, but i'm not alone, and even when my kid licks day old crushed cheetos off of the floor, my Heavenly Father is still smiling and cheering me on.
*** Friends ***
*** FRIENDS ***
whether they have been in your life for a few years..
or 20!
Life would not be complete with out them!
*** Running Water! ***
do i really need to elaborate? i think the pictures say enough!
*** Daddy***
i love seeing gabe look at him like he can do anything.
he is so interested in everything his daddy does.
whenever the phone rings, he says "dada"?
when he hears the garage door go up, he gets this look on his face like..."YES!"
as he runs to the door to meet him.
and because gabe loves his daddy as much as i do!
*** Sunny days ***
when we can play with rocks and dirt and run over bridges and find bugs and pet horses
and explore the new neighborhood that we now call home.
*** Snowy days ***
When we can stay in our PJ's all day and watch Cars and make cars out of play doh.
and play with toy cars.
(cars are sort of our thing around here)
*** Little Miracles ***
like getting your little dude to STAY in bed all night after a battle of whits between
a 32 year old and a 20 month old.
and the fact that most of the time it ends like this...
but being okay with it if it sometimes ends like this!!
(compromise)
*** Big Miracles ***
like baby Ivy (my brother TJ's little girl)
her start in the world 7 days ago was a rocky one,
filled with uncertainty and many, many prayers.
but after a fathers blessing and an MRI
it looks like she is going to be
perfectly perfect.
so no matter what you're thankful for, big or small.
remember who it was that made it possible.
