Thankful Thursdays Top Ten #1
It is time to bring back Thankful Thursdays. I am not unthankful, but writing things down always makes it more memorable and is a beautiful marker to look back on. Here goes...
I'm thankful for...
1. Chili for dinner because it is pre-made and all I have to do is make sure it is warm or done by dinner time.
2. Kids that are hilarious. Especially the wee ones that also are crazy makers :) I love their little personalities.
3. The quiet time tablets provide so I can make dinner (or in this case type this list since dinner is already made)
4. Friends who are always around to push me in the right direction.
5. Practice having the hard conversations and knowing that God's grace is for me too.
6. "Daddy night" - aka Mom gets to leave the house ALONE night! This is great for my OCD self to plan and re-plan homeschooling from now until all eternity. Seriously, I have no business considering high school curricula yet.
7. Peace that comes even when things are difficult. Knowing who I am in Christ makes all the difference because without that, the easiest person to blame is myself...but a dispute or rejection with God is not the same as a person's dispute with or rejection of me.
8. Designated Survivor...yes, the show. Good plot lines without all the sex and drama that is so prevalent other places. Mild language is pretty much my only 'complaint' with this show.
9. Having kids who look at me with that "duh, we know" expression on their face when I tell them that they always tell mom and dad, no matter what. We had a long chat today about how any time ANYONE says "don't tell mom and dad" they are to tell me immediately. And that if there is ever a threat with that (I'll hurt you or someone you love) it is MY responsibility to keep everyone safe, not theirs. My kids are great at telling us, I just wanted to remind them in light of all the drama these days.
10. Date nights. I am thankful for a couple hours most weeks alone with my husband to be real live adults and just talk to each other. I'm also thankful we like each other :)
That's what I'm thankful for right this minute, how about you?
