Just a Daisy in the Meadow

I am rejoicing and thanking the Lord that Loraine is going potty now. The “light” just went on all of a sudden!

Jaden is crawling as of Sunday! Praise the Lord for healthy guys!

And Wayne is in between working hard on those teeth! I thank the Lord that he usually isn’t very fussy doing that!

I’m thankful that Japheth is quite busy there at work . . . cause that means there is money coming in to pay the bills.

I’m thankful that Japeth Jr. is making progress in his reading and is able now to read a few books how be it very slow!

And that Jeremiah is getting a start in learning to read. Praise God for bright, clear minds!

I’m thankful that I can start little fires in the cookstove here to take the chill off long wintery days!

I am thankful for the beauty of snow flakes lazily floating down from the gey overcast sky, placing a lovely white sheet over bare dirt and at times coating the trees. I like winter!

I’m thankful for every evening that I see the headlights once again of my dear husband’s car turning in the driveway . . .

I thank the Lord for friends to share heart to heart with, to pray with, for hugs . . .

I thank the Lord for laughter . . . and my husband who keeps me well supplied. (If it doesn’t work other ways, he resorts to tickling!)

I love being able to run over to my in-laws for a short break . . . for them stepping in each day to say hi and ask how my day is going on their way for canned goods or whatever.

I love being able to look out the windows . . . being warm and cozy inside and seeing the children enjoy the outdoors!

I love being able to laugh and play with them, make snowmen, and throw snowballs!

I’m so thankful I have lots of little ones to cuddle!!!

I thank the Lord for the ease it has been to lose weight (so far). I know it will not always be this way and for many people maybe never has. It is a gift You have given me at this time in my life!!!

I’m thankful for the “iron” sharpening in my life . . . I need that.

I thank the Lord that His Spirit can abide in me . . . that I can enjoy the sweet fellowship with God the “New Testament” way.

I am so grateful for forgiveness . . . especially for our Great Just Creator God!, and also from others that I have wronged!

I praise the Lord for so faithful and loving a husband to share life’s joys and sorrows with . . . It is glorious!

I want to say “Thank-You, Lord!” for my roses that bloomed this year . . .ahhhh the fragrance emitted . . . and for the reminder in the song, “Before the roses bloom again, we may be walking the streets of glory, for each season brings me closer to the end . . .”

. . .for the many voices singing praises from each cd that we play, the phrases of encouragement and challenge!!!

God says in everything to give thanks, right? . . . and so I thank him for my messy house, that I am able to function amidst chaos (Sometime’s I’m not so sure I can!)

I thank the Lord that fevers go away after awhile . . .  that colds don’t last forever!

. . . that the sun sets every day, and we can rest (as much as moms are allowed at times)
Thank-You, Lord . . .
