I am thankful for VBS! My kids LOVE gong to VBS, so this
summer they attended a couple of them and every day they come back singing
praise songs and showing me their crafts and telling me what they had for snack
and what they learned that day. Andrew gets bummed when summer is over because
he has to wait a whole year for VBS again. Who can I talk to about having a
Christmas break VBS and a spring break VBS? :)
I am thankful for awesome friendships new and old. Will and
I have made some great new friends this year in a family we play basketball
with. We all get along really well, and our boys even share a birthday and the
girls always get along! It’s awesome to have a friend to text and hang out with
who is on the same mommy page as you because the kids are the same gender and
ages basically. And it’s great to see that my hubby has made a new friend that
he gets along with really well. And
today I went to visit my friend Krystal and her beautiful new baby Olivia. It’s
nice to just pick right up with someone you’ve been friends with for a while
but haven’t seen or chatted with in a while.
It’s just a nice and simple friendship with someone I trust and can
share with even if it is sporadically.
I am thankful for my well behaved (everywhere else but at
home…and the grocery store apparently), kind hearted children. They are far
from perfect, but I do receive compliments from their teachers and my
co-workers about them and it really just makes my heart super happy. There was
a little girl today at work who was on a little rampage…tried to shove a kid of
a scooter, threw a ball at another child’s head because “she didn’t want to
play with her”, she grabbed another little kid by the shirt collar and shook
him something fierce, and scratched the neck of another child. The whole time I
was super thankful that my kids never behave that way towards other kids (they
save it for each other). And I know its super unkind but I was also thankful
she wasn’t my child. BUT then I thought, well she’s someone’s child and they
love her just as much as I love mine. So I am even thankful for other people’s
difficult children because they teach me patience and give me opportunities to
help reinforce kind behavior.
What are you thankful for today?
