A few things I am loving at present -

Hearing of other's blessings -   we know this AWESOME family of God - dad is a Pastor, mom is a Proverbs 31 lady, the children are blessings to be around - a wonderful family.  Well, their two vehicles were on their LAST - and I mean last legs, and finally died recently.  There was no fix in sight.  They were told with one of the vehicles that it never should have been on the road...well, people began to pray, and blessings began to happen.  In the end, over $8000 was given to this family to help with the purchase of a newer, more reliable vehicle!  $8000!   Can you imagine what a blessing that was!  It humbles me to hear things like this - to know for sure, without a doubt, that our God DOES know our needs, AND, He provides for us in ways we could never understand or expect!

Dancing with my baby - little Sarah is one now, and LOVES to spin around and around when music is on.  She even tries to sing along...what a joy to scoop her up in my arms and dance with her!

Witnessing God move in my son - Coy is 10 now, still a boy, but quickly growing into a man.  I am seeing him take on more initiative and responsibility.  He is developing a gentle sweetness when he plays with the girls, and leading his brother.

Seeing how loving Garret's heart is - there are times he is tried to the end with his little sister Isabella, and then there are times when he just plays so well with her.  It is touching to see him 'take her fishing' as they throw the stuffed fish around and scoop them up, or 'take her hunting' as they stalk the stuffed deer and bear in our living room!  And yes, there are times when he plays with the baby dolls with her.

Watching the total excitement and awe in Isabella's eyes as she grows - Like when she sees a bird - who knew a crow could cause such excitement!  Or hearing her play quietly with her dolls, tucking them in my fabric boxes and feeding them.

Knowing that I can count on my husband - whom is such a blessing to me.  He is a hardworking and loving man.  It is mid September, and all of our wood is cut, corded, and ready for the long, cold winter.  He is instilling in the boys a strong work ethic, not allowing them to play or watch TV while he tended the wood.  He took them with him for every load, supervising as Coy ran the skitter, guiding them as they piled the wood, working beside them, not watching them work. 

Canning and Preserving - I am really getting the hang of this.  We have been blessed with much produce this summer, all of which has been eaten or preserved in some way or another. 

What are you loving today?

Blessings,
Hope
