How have I forgotten thankfulness? Forgotten that all around me whispers beauty and hope. Yes, even grace.
And then there are days that God screams JOY to me...and I am learning to trust that all is well and all will be well.
I woke up to a Monday morning of temptations...mostly to be overwhelmed and failing to trust that God will take care of my cares. Oh me of little faith.
So we started off with recess this morning...and look what my sweet things turned into?!? Spies!I seriously had to laugh out loud...and that was good medicine for my melancholy Monday morning. Not sure if they are getting ready for Halloween or what?!? {I personally like how my girly girl accessorized her spy outfit with a purple belt and purse.}
So today, I'm mostly thankful for children who remind me the importance of being playful and having a child-like faith. A lesson I need each day.
Jesus, Make it well with my soul today. And teach me thankfulness again and again.

I love how the Lord uses children to remind us of important truths - God is so good!
I, too, am thankful for blessings like my boys playing flag football, and our oldest son's youth group.
Listing our blessings is such a wonderful exercise in remembering the Lord's goodness.
Thank you for sharing yours today. I was blessed to read your words.
