My friend Becky just posted a blog entitled "A Laud of Simple Things", focusing on all the simple blessings God has given us in a time when it's easy to get sucked into the cold and blah's of January. We just got back from an amazing vacation in Turks and Caicos with my whole family (which will be posted hopefully tomorrow as I'm working on sorting pictures!!) and I was so depressed to come back to the frigid northeast. Her blog touched me so much that I thought I would post this and hopefully get someone else to do the same. To kind of remind ourselves and each other to look to the simple daily blessings we all might pass over. So I'll do yesterday since it's not even 9am yet.
-Noah took 3 naps yesterday
-I got a parking space right in front of the grocery store
-I found $10 in Adam's pants pocket while doing the laundry
-Adam was home by 4pm from work
-I got to talk to my dad on the phone and we just laughed and re-capped what an amazing vacation we all just had
-As Adam and I lay in bed at 8:15 reading last night (that is a blessing within itself), he kept interrupting my reading to read me excerpts from his devotional because he wanted to share it with me. He is one of my greatest blessings.
-Noah woke up once at 4am to nurse and then slept until 7:15am.
The smiles of my son, the love of my husband, and the peace of God. Those are my blessings, and for that I am thankful.
(Thanks Becky for the reminder...)
