So here we are, we have made it back to KC, been quarantined for 4 days, made it to a couple days of school and had a great weekend with our friend Lance, from Arkansas. What a week! I sit here and think through it and realize all the many things I am grateful for. (I know, you're not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition.) i digress. SO, in honor of my friend Candace (because she makes a mean list) here's my top ten from this past week.
10. I am so grateful for the lunch my friend Emily and I got to have a Chipotle this week. Not only is it the best food ever, but we had a really good chat that morning, and are learning to live this life as a Godly mother together. Thank you friend!
9. I got to pray over my son, teach him about the heart of the Father, and watch his body heal. I am so thankful that we are designed to seek Him in our time of need- and that I got to watch my son ask for prayer when He was sick. And then see him restored. Amazing. . . .
8. I am grateful for an amazing husband who reminded me ever so kindly Friday night that my life is not spinning out of control and it is going to slow down. And I will still be here. :)
7. It rained a beautiful fall rain today. Cool. Crisp.
6. My bills are paid for this round and we have food to eat. We stayed dry during the rain today.
5. Big Biy got an amazing hug today from our friend Haven. She's not even two and spread the love during family devotions tonight.
4. Little Boy hasn't gotten sick yet!! (And neither have any of the parents!)
3. We laughed really hard this weekend while watching Nacho Libre with Lance- our friend from Arkansas who visited this weekend. The visit was sweet and the fellowship was great. Thanks for coming friend!
2. When asked what the Lord said to him tonight, Big Boy said, "He said He is coming back." That's awesome. Really.
1. The Lord has given me a testimony- I have been saved. I have been given an opportunity to live eternally. With no pain, fear, or suffering. No sickness or disease. No sin, only love. For my life is only a breath and I am amazed at the days I am given. May He be shown in my waking and in my sleeping.
Goodnight and goodbye.

I'm working on celebrating other's successes and joys even when I wish they were mine. Number ten is case in point (Chipotle and a good chat... are you kidding me?)
Love you friend and yay for so much to be thankful for!!!!
Hey Lydia - I tried to send you an email, but for some reason it bounced. Thanks for stopping by the blog - I feel like I know you a little bit through our favorite little blondie friend -

I am so glad you are home safely and that Benjamin is feeling better and I am so glad you posted a gratefulness blog. I needed it, too.
Love you!
