It's been awhile, so I can't fit my gifts into a neat list of ten (He gives more gifts that I'm comfortable with).
So thankful for...
81. An evening alone with Shortbread
82. Shortbread's desire to pick a specific dandelion outside the car door, even with scores of others around - his response to that observation: "But that one's so pretty!"
83. A day of tears, frustration and anger ends with grace, laughter and pillow-fighting
84. Bradley turning around to wave to me during his humanities class while I'm grading papers
85. Finding Shortbread's baptism DVD and seeing that toothless grin and kicky legs
86. Before breakfast calm as Bearclaw reads on the sofa and Shortbread works on some new creation at the table
87. The grace to help the child who is unable to quiet his heart and body find peace again
88. The grace of forgiveness for all the times (years) I met the older child's rage with more rage
89. A weekend warm enough for snow cones
90. Neighborhood playmates
91. New schooling options for struggling friends
92. A shortcut for hubby's new, long commute
93. A zoo day for boys who adore animals with grandparents who adore them
94. Lunch with a friend who understands and seeks understanding
To count along or celebrate others' blessings, go to A Holy Experience.
