Last night during my bible/book study group, one of my very good friends asked us all to end each of our days with counting all the things that we are grateful for. I've never thought about that, but how content I felt when I laid down to go to sleep last night. Here's my list:
My husband and boys
My family and friends in Idaho, NC, Louisiana and Alabama
The love support for our future little girl as well as the excitement that fills my heart
My endurance to cook a dinner at the end of a very long day
The job my husband has to keep a roof over our heads
My 3 cats and 1 stinky old poochito Emma
My patience yesterday when my 6 year old through a massive tantrum about his Wii game
The order of these things matters not, but when I sat down and reflected upon my day and how much stress I felt of that day and the next day to come overwhelmed me. As soon as I spoke my list, it wasn't so bad I thought. Today, I started out with the same list. What is your list?
A Girl for the Klin'zoo's... Our family adoption journey for our third child, a daughter from Uganda. This is for friends and family to share in our process and support us throughout the journey. We like adventure and are sure this one will be just as precious and amazing as our first two were! You can help too!! Along the side of the blog are links to donate or buy a shirt, and buy from just love coffee (see blog for details). Thanks and Enjoy our Blog!
I visited the Sanyu Babies site and read their news letter. What beautiful babies! The story about baby Faith and her picture was breath taking!
