I'm finding this to be difficult to get to in a reasonable amount of time. After starting back to work my spare time is spent in the backyard playing in the baby pool and trying to find other activities that help beat this heat.
I thought I would start a gratitude list. My friend Kathy once gave me a tiny little notepad that we called our gratitude book and each day or as frequently as I could remember I would list something I was grateful for. I have loved going back and looking at it - often you could tell what the weather was doing or what holiday it was or who I was spending the most time with. Wow - it was very evident when I seemed to be closer in my walk with God! So I'll close today with.....
I'M GRATEFUL FOR.........
Beautiful healthy children that have enhanced my life in a way I had never imagined.
