...seems to be the theme of my life this past week.
God has presented this to me in various conversations and books throughout the past week....or several weeks.
I find myself getting so caught up in what has to be done that I forget to stop enjoy all that God has blessed me with. Those little "hindrances" that seem to get in the way some days....I need to change my perspective and be thankful that they are in my life. My MOTTT's group is currently reading thru Becoming More than a good Bible study girl by Lysa Terkeurst....phenomenal book, by the way! She challenges us to be thankful for the little things.
Here is a peak at my "thanksgiving" list:
- Having a husband and children who want to help.....it's ok if they don't do things exactly the way I would.
- Three beautiful, giggly girls who love me...even if they do jump on my lap as soon as I sit down and are constantly talking. They do it because they love me!...not just to be in my face.
I am reminded to be thankful for the messes that I find myself always tidying up.
Thankful for the shoes laying by the front door.
The coats, hats, gloves, backpacks that don't always get hung up on the coat rack.
The beds that don't get made every morning.
The constant talking while I'm trying to read.
It's not always about me!!! The season I am in right now, is a season that will all too quickly pass. Soak in every memory you can...and enjoy it while your living it!
We need to be thankful for the little things.
...an extra hour of sleep.
...that wonderful giggle every time you touch her neck.
...bedtime kisses.
What are some simple pleasures that you find yourself being thankful for?
