Here are some of the things I was thankful for this week:
- 597. Learning to believe and speak
- 596. His prayer also that God would help him help any kids who were nervous at VBS
- 595. My six year old's spontaneous prayers for a friend who is anxious about VBS
- 594. Celebrating the life of mother and grandmother we lost one year ago
- 593. Feeling more blessed than anyone we "served"
- 592. The opportunity to bless by hosting, serving, feeding
- 591. Church family gathering at our home for baptisms
- 590. Watching the kids savor their time with their (now) faraway friends
- 589. Spending time with friends home from overseas
- 588. Getting ready for a blessed gathering- errands, organizing, praying
- 587. Learning the songs and signs for VBS- can't wait!
- 586. Still getting dinner on the table despite the unexpected and lengthy errand
- 585. Remembering to take care of an important task for church just in time
- 584. Quite possibly the funniest interest my boys have ever gotten in to- mastering step aerobics on the Wii Fit! Laughter is medicine for the soul!
- 583. Watching them freely pile toys on the giveaway pile until it covered the whole playroom rug!
- 582. No complaints from my little workers!
- 581. Working alongside my 3 to get the playroom cleaned out and organized
- 580. A productive planning meeting
- 579. Special aunt who lovingly cared for my little girl while the boys and I were out
- 578. Fighting not to let the inconveniences and the lack of grace in the world take away from a beautiful day
- 577. A day of fun with friends on our day trip
- 576. Peace during the "looking for tickets moments" because I know He has the best plans for us
- 575. Ticket lost then found in time for our day trip with friends
- 574. Watching little boy learn to ride a two wheeler- his determination and courage
- 573. A perfect Sunday- church service, fellowship and breaking bread together, playing outside with our children, a simple, delicious meal, lots of love

A beautiful list Natalie. Glad you found your tickets...e-mail is great, until we delete that "important" one!!
Don't you just love impromptu prayers from the heart of a little one?!! So sweet!
No complaints and learning step aerobics! As a mommy of little princes in our castle, I can smile with you today.
As always a joy to splash around in thankfulness. Your blog, simply delightful.
Splashin' in His goodness,
Sara
Ugh, that e-mail fiasco was so stressful, Mary. We were going to a National Monument and I was finally like, "Ok Lord are you trying to keep us away from there to keep us safe? If that's the case, prevent us from getting there!!!"
Yes, Michelle, I LOVE to hear sincere prayer from my kids and their voices lifted in worship just melts my heart!
Sara,
Once again, thanks for your sweet words and joining me here!
