It's Thursday again. And I am thankful!
I have four beautiful children and God has blessed us with to keep and guide and train.
They have been blessed with bicycles, secondhand from our church family. This is an expense we have not had to make!
They have been blessed with the use of the neighbor's trampoline! This simple contraption entertains my four for hours!! My children range in age from 6.5 to 1. The four of them jump and jump and play.
I have never had to buy my children beds or bedding! We've been given bunk beds, and twin beds and toddler beds and cribs, and fold-out Dora couches. They have been given beautiful quilts and neat sheets.
My children have been blessed with toys. Some I have bought. Today Lego is the hit!!! They haven't played with it for weeks. I can see hours of fun with these today. Their dolls and doll equipment have been gifts. Stuffies (as any mother knows) are coming out our ears!
My children have clothes. More clothes than they will ever use and I get offers of more a couple times a month. This includes shoes, boots, and jackets. I have had to turn down clothing because my house was becoming overrun with bags and boxes.
I am thankful for my children. I am thankful that they are not a financial stress. I am thankful for the church family and community that we have that supports us and whom we support. Thank you, Lord!
