OK, OK, I know it's been a long time since my last entry but that is not to say I don't have anything to be thankful for...on the contrary it is the very things that I'm thankful for that caused my self imposed hiatus...so here it goes:
4. family visiting for the holidays and beyond
5. a quick resolution by the other driver's insurance company to a car accident
6. no injuries from the above mentioned car accident
7. the slow progression of my mother's terminal illness
8. a doctor who finally was able to get my mom on oxygen
9. an 8 year old daughter not afraid to witness to her ailing, stubborn grandmother
10. my almost 13 year old son not afraid to scrub floors or do laundry because his mom physically can't
11. big brother getting fussy baby to laugh...when no-one else can
12. 3 year old daughter singing "Rock of Ages" along with a Chris Rice CD 13. 8 year old daughter asking over and over to listen to "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" and knowing the words
14. an alomost 13 year old son who still listens to "Jonathan Park" from Vision Forum 15. Vision Forum for producing the Jonathan Park CD's
16. an 11 daughter who loves to bless our family with from scratch scones
17. an 11 year old daughter who loves to cook dinner especially when I can't
18. an 8 year old daughter who delights in setting a beautiful table every day
19. best friends for my girls
20. a best friend for my son
21. a husband who knows a toaster in not a "good appliance" Christmas gift but that a pannini grill is
22. a husband that doesn't get upset when he gets home from work and the house is a wreck, there's no dinner waiting for him and the bambinos and his wife are crying ...he loves us all anyways
23. an always cold husband who sits for hours in a freezing ice rink watching his only son play hockey...just like he did...because I can't
24. a husband who does the dishes and gives the babies their baths so that my hands don't crack and bleed from being in too much water all the time
25. having my family, my in-laws and my mom together for Christmas dinner for the first time in my married life
Just the simple thoughts on life, children, books, nature, and God (to name a few) of an imperfect Christian momma as she ventures forth in search of the Sweet Life...
