How do Mondays arrive so quickly? The days seem to be flying by. Of course when we spend hours out in the garden pulling weeds time does seem to disappear – but not the weeds!!
So much to offer up thanks for today.
{0868- 0886 of 1000 gifts in my gratitude journal}
- devotions with attentive kids in the morning
- color and flowers in the yard – makes me smile
- sitting by the garden & feeding fresh spinach to my happy chickens
- talking with the turkeys in the yard & them talking back
- kittens who love to snuggle
- feeding the catfish with all the gang, cleaned & showered before bed
- yogurt parfaits for breakfast – only after clean rooms (& many inspections later)
- sharing the words we read from The Word at the table with my boys
- a new student – and the excitement our family is feeling over the future
- listening to children sings songs – I am a Promise & God is still working on me – SO SWEET
- sharing yellow squash from the garden
- watching pumpkins grow – yes in May (we did not plant them)
- waiting for tomatoes to turn – anxiously
- feeling God’s blessing over our new venture
- knowing there is always enough – despite fretting over it
- meals from the land
- a boy harvesting potatoes from the plants HE planted in the early spring – so exciting!
- the mockingbird singing to me while I weed the garden – makes me think of Leslie – makes me love that song more because he does
- smiling at nothing and yet everything
