I have so many things to be thankful for in life, but today I am especially thankful for weekends! I get to spend a weekend with no major plans and a house full of kids. There is not much better in life than the sounds of laughter and giggles from happy girls. I love that my girls love to be at home and are comfortable inviting their friends over. I'm thankful for happy, healthy girls and a fabulous husband. Despite life's trials, life is good.
As I was having a test run yesterday at the clinic in Texarkana, the technician (Brandi) and I were talking. She was super sweet, and I felt like I had known her for years. We started talking about keeping life in perspective. She recently lost her grandfather and has really struggled with that loss. But, she said that as she starts to feel really down, she is often reminded that there are certainly those in worse situations in life. We all know people or know OF people who are in dire need of healing and prayers. That reminder was good for me. I was a little anxious about that test and some other circumstances in my life, but I was reminded that I have so many things to be thankful for....family, friends, health, food, clothing, shelter, and so many more.
So, today I choose to thank the Lord for weekends full of little girls :) Now THAT makes my heart sing!
