I will enter your gates with thanksgiving in my heart and I will enter your courts with praise

I am thankful for a relaxing weekend with friends and family in the much cooler forest.

I am thankful for my husband who is able to drive us safely to go camping pulling a pop-up trailer.

I am thankful for the cool breezes, beautiful butterflies and blanket of stars we experienced this weekend.

I am thankful for air conditioning (especially when it is 112 degrees outside!)

I am thankful for my own soft bed to come home to.

I am thankful for my wonderful in-laws who make swim lessons an extra, special event for our girls.

I am thankful for baby smiles, toddler kisses, preschooler helpfulness, and big girls who can really help out in such a meaningful way.

I am thankful for a generous church member who gave our family the exact swing set our children have wanted from Costco for years.

I am thankful for crockpots cooking dinner.

I am thankful for all the recipes that are so easy to find on the internet.

Daily Life – June 16, 2008

June 16, 2008 by mamakay Leave a Comment

Here’s a glimpse of my life today:

My Bible Verse…

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
(1Pe 1:3-5 ESV)

I am thinking…

about our church family and the struggles we have lived through these past couple of years. What can we do? Can this body get back on track?

From the kitchen…

orange chicken and rice for dinner tonight

I am wearing…

teal t-shirt & shorts

I am reading…

Raising Godly Tomatoes

I am hoping…

that the bank accepts our new offer on a 3.3 acre property we are hoping to buy this week

Around the house…

it is quiet time, only the sound of the ceiling fan turning above me, the a/c turning on (its supposed to be 112 today) and my daughter’s audio book playing in the other room.

My Prayer…

That I can learn to have a joyful spirit

I am thankful for…

my father, my husband, our children, my in-laws, air conditioning!, encouraging older women in my life: Karen, Betty, & Mary

1000 Gifts — Beginning Again

April 21, 2008 by mamakay Leave a Comment

Ann has encouraged me to pick up writing about my 1000 gifts once again. I made it to 120 last time so I’ll pick up from there. A couple weeks ago I started a gratitude journal with the girls that we make entries in a couple times a week during Circle Time. I really want to work on being more grateful and I hope this will be a good tool to help me keep my focus.

121. A cute and cuddly baby who’s smile can melt my heart.

122. The smell of fresh baked bread coming out of the oven.

123. Another nice day as we try to make until May without air conditioning (last Monday it was 97 here so we had to leave the house to survive it. 8) )

124. Waking up to birds singing outside our window.

125. A 3 year old who loves helping her mama bake bread and a nearly 5 year old who is always looking for ways to be helpful.

126. A 7 year old who loves entertaining the baby and making her laugh.

127. A 9 year old who was able to be a blessing to members of our church with preparing items for the Family Bible Adventure weekend coming up and watching over their children so they could work.

128. A husband who is feeling much better today.

129. A day off after a crazy weekend of birthday parties and sickness.

130. My new laptop that has more space than I can imagine using for all of our pictures, ebooks, websites and more.
