Gratituding My Life Away

Gratitude Monday...thanks to the inspiring blog A Holy Experience I have been moved to record here the way I am finding endless joy in my life. I do believe the more I focus on the things I am thankful for the more happy I have become and the more I see God's hand in so much of my day, weaving together the little things into a fabulous story of our family. We are blessed beyond words and even on those days when things seem hopeless I pray that the spirit can draw me back to a heart full of gratitude. So here goes my list....

#1. Watching the children run free, chasing chickens on the hill
#2. A husband who is willing to take the children for a day so I can "catch up"
#3. Seeing Katherine stop and bend down to give her brother a good morning squeeze.
#4. A beautiful Sabbath hike ending at sunset, gazing at snow capped mountains
#5. A precious Caroline's tight hugs each night, not wanting to unwrap arms from around my neck.
#6. Enjoying a play with Mary on Sunday, just the two of us, learning the stories behind many hymns and singing with all present the glorious words penned by such faithful men and women.
