I am thankful:
~ for our annual exhausting, fun-filled week of Vacation Bible School! Big kids all had jobs, Littles had a blast in their crews, and I cooked and served the pre-VBS meal for 70ish volunteers and their families every night. It was an awesome week of fun and fellowship and Jesus, and I’m so thankful we all got to be a part!
~ for a fun double date with dear friends.
~ for such a fun night with our HERO buddies at the Little Wranglers Party. Always thankful for these amazing kids and their families to be celebrated.
~ for a delicious farm to table feast: buttery blueberry pancakes and rich, savory sausage from you-know-what!🐗
~ for an almost perfect, simple country afternoon: playing with the chickens,
sitting under the walnut tree listening to Cooper
while taking pictures of some new friends,
while kids fished in the creek for the first time.
It was ALMOST perfect because I’ve got two sick ones this weekend.
But I’m thankful. Thankful for run-of-the-mill sickness that will pass. Thankful for healthy immune systems that will bounce back stronger. Every day is a gift. I don’t take any of it for granted. Dear Lord, we DO have so much to be thankful for.
Thanks for giving thanks with me.
