Friday Gratitudes

Friday, January 8th, 2010 | Gratitude

Once a week, I’m going to try to remember to post the things I’ve been grateful for during the week. Last night, I had a really awful headache and the kids were so sweet. This morning, while I was still in bed, they made me a jelly sandwich for breakfast and Graham drew and cut out a bunch of flowers and put them in a mug (vase). Then they brought it all up on a tray so that I could have breakfast in bed. I’ve got such great kids.

This week, I’m thankful for:

1. Red paper flowers, cut out and carefully arranged.
2. A quiet evening in the dark, curled up on the couch with my husband and a good movie.
3. The power of prayer to change despair into hope.
4. A good book to read aloud together on freezing cold afternoons.
