Dec. 29, 2006 - 2006 Review...
It's that time of year again...when the media recaps the events of 2006. Some sad, some unbelievable, some I can't believe anyone even cares about. I thought I would take a minute tonight and list a few thoughts about this past year and hope you will also take a minute and recap the blessings of your year.
Special blessings of 2006:
1. Realizing I now have 2 teenagers at home and they can be fun to live with.
2. Knowing God is in control of our life and has a special plan for our family.
3. Seeing little reasons here and there of why God lead us to Fort Worth, TX.
4. Having all 6 children together at the same time...twice in one year.
5. Finding out the oldest dd and her dh are expecting their first baby.
6. Receiving Christmas cards (especially ones with photos) from dear friends.
7. The precious visit I had with my grandmother who is dying.
8. Finding history books written by my great, great grandfather (Joseph T. Derry) online that don't cost a fortune.
9. Cleaning out storage sheds and getting rid of lots of stuff.
10. Having my 10 yodd & 13yodd totally responsible for doing the dishes now.
11. Having the baby (now 4yo) potty trained.
12. Rain during a drought.
13. New church family.
14. Having my husband at home with us all the time and not working outside the home.
15. Having my husband's sister and her family home in the states for 8 months and living only 5 minutes away from us.
16. Having the freedom to worship freely.
17. Having the freedom and ability to homeschool my children.
