Today I am thankful for:
paint on the floor
dull spots on my dining room table where my son used paint without a drop cloth and used a Magic Eraser to get it off... and took off the finish
paint on the kitchen chair
clothes unfolded
Legos in the middle of the floor
jelly on the counter
a zillion plastic cups in the dishwasher
I could go on...
But it means I am thankful for my healthy, active children.
I see evidences of them around all of the time.
Some of these evidences are becoming dear to my heart even though they "mess up" something in the house.
I am reminded to be thankful because I have thought of and said prayers for this family often lately.
I found out about them through Facebook about 3 weeks ago.
Their story of losing their precious girl, Lydia, at 7 1/2 years brought me to sobs.
Take time to read their journey and you will understand why.
It gives stresses in life a different perspective.

thanks for a great reminder of so much to be thankful for. I'm off to read their story... after I grab the tissue box.
I should have grabbed the tissue box! Oh my.... what a story of faith!
