Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

~Philippians 4:4-8

Today's Thankful Heart - Nov 12th

Today I am thankful for, praise God for, rejoice because:
  • A good night's rest and a wonderful husband - I am usually the light sleeper but apparently last night I was pretty tired. Our 4 year old it seems was having a good night of deep sleep as well. He woke himself up when he started to wet himself (been a long time since that has happened). I guess he jumped up pretty fast and hit the wall our bedrooms share pretty hard, waking up my hubby. Then he came into our room sobbing because he'd had an accident. My husband changed him, made a bed for him on our floor and settled him back to sleep. I slept through the entire thing! I woke up at 4am to hysterical laughter though. Not sure what Austin was dreaming about, but it was obviously pretty funny!
  • Nice warm bubble baths and a good book (yep I know I've put this one down already but I can't help it. I love them and I'm going to indulge again tonight before bed!)
  • Homeschooling - I never would have thought that I would say this but I'm loving the homeschooling thing. Of course ours is a unique situation given our daughter is part of a co-op three days a week and then does homework I assign her while spending the day with daddy at work the other two days - but I'm pretty much teaching her history/geography, science and Spanish. And then I'm also following up on the Language Arts, reading, math, music and art she gets at the co-op. Lots of work but so much fun! And it is drawing us closer together as well. On top of that, I'm noticing less and less t.v. in our household lately. Gotta love that!
