Thankful

I will praise the name of God with a song and will magnify him with Thanksgiving
Psalm 69:30

So so much to be thankful for today and everyday.
Thankful for family, friends, and health
and most importantly the hope found in Jesus that gives this crazy life purpose.

I pray I can have a thankful heart everyday and every circumstance that comes my way.

Sprinkles

Just a brief entry to capture a quick thought.
I have so much I want to catch up on here, Ford's 9 months, the mountains, the pumpkin patch,the beach, halloween.....
and thoughts from this incredible book that has been so good for my soul in this season of my life,

a quote from this book,

"This journey of mothering is a challenging marathon of moments, hours, days, months, years, and decades. And yet, in each moment, God has sprinkled across our paths beauty, love, and joy"

Lately I have felt the challenging marathon of moments but I had a sprinkle moment tonight when Brooks ,without any prompting, got up in my lap and sat inches from my face and asked me to read his Elmo book to him and then asked me to sing to him with a huge grin on his face.

I am trying to stop and appreciate these sprinkles of beauty, love, and joy. 

These sprinkles are evident every day, somedays they are just harder to find, but they are there!!
