simple things

This week I took my new friend, Kristen's, challenge to live life this month focusing on all God's blessings. As I've tried to be mindful of the things in my life for which I am thankful, my mind seems to be flooded with more and more of these simple blessings.

• a wonderful husband that makes me laugh so hard I cry
• the extreme privilege of homeschooling our precious children
• the simple blessing of watching H & H quietly playing Lite Brite together
• a peaceful nights sleep
• a schedule that allows us to be unhurried
• children that love to learn
• a husband that reaches over to turn off the alarm so that I can sleep just a little longer
• the chance to teach my children about God's blessing in their lives
• a Friday night dinner out for our favorite Mexican food
• a warm kitty that jumps on my lap first thing in the morning for some snuggle time
