An afternoon of sunshine after weeks of dreary, gray, drizzly weather
Hearing my daughter ask her big brother “Are you my friend?” to which he replies “Yes, I’m your friend.”
The taste of fresh blueberries on cereal
The dimples in my baby boy’s knees
How fresh and sweet my little girls smell after their bath
Watching my boys work on a project by their father’s side
A row of newly canned jars of jam
The smell of earth and growing things as I work in the garden
The feeling of a little hand in mine
The twinkle in my husband’s eye
My little boy, proud to be his father’s son, bragging how his daddy is the best cabinetmaker in the whole world and how he can build anything (which is, of course, quite true)
The quiet that falls over the house after the children have gone to sleep
A green, thick, freshly mowed yard
Chocolate
A cool swim on a hot day (haven’t had much of those this summer, but I can still be grateful for the ones I have had)
Listening to my husband read the Bible
Sunset over the mountains
A phone call from a friend
How about you? What little things can you be grateful for? Please leave a comment and share how you are counting your blessings.
