Gratefulness

It is Thankful Thursday. I went on a thankful scavenger hunt. Here are some pics and a few of my thoughts:

 

I am thankful for all of these studies. They have changed my heart from the inside out, and grown my knowledge of a loving God. The times spent in these have grown friendships and faith. 

 

I am thankful from this old, stinky, bedside table/dresser that I acquired from my mother. It holds my new book and an old book. 

 

I am thankful for my morning hot cup of drink. This one is my fave- it is more like a cup and a half, and came from a best friend years ago. 

 

I am thankful for my desk. Here I plan for school. Lately I have been typing my thoughts in this spot also. 

 

I am so genuinely thankful for this little blessing that always greets me with this big smile after his nap. He is my happy little boy, always laughing.  

 

I am thankful for this built in cupboard that holds our homeschooling books. It allows us to do school in the main part of our house and I can keep up with baby, meal preparation, and all mom-duties. 

 

I am thankful for my old dog. He keeps on the look-out while my kids play outside and is calm in his old age. 

 

I am thankful for rubber boots. These boots mean that spring is here and my kids can get out more in the fresh air. 

 

I am thankful for Gem's new bed that is actually my Great-Grandma's old antique bed- complete with my old comforter and a stash of dollies in the corner. 

 

I am thankful for all things boy.... a collection of Lego, bullets, rocks, and cars. This stash on my son's dresser reminds me of childlike wonder and joy in the small stuff.
