A friend of mine has a great blog called Heavenly Mommy (http://heavenlymommy.com/2010/11/11/thankful-thursday-for-11-11-10/) that I adore, and she has been doing something called Thankful Thursday for a while now. I love reading her post's about why she is thankful each Thursday, so I decided it's time to start my own :)
What I am thankful for on this Thursday is ......drum roll.......SLEEP!!!! :)
Isaac has been sleeping better since Monday and I am thanking the good Lord constantly! For those of you that know us well, lack of sleep has been the name of our game since Isaac entered our wonderful family :) Thankfully he is so darn cute and sweet that I can never be upset at him for it! But, so far this week he has been doing better. I have made some changes after praying for Wisdom and I am thankful that God blessed me with his widsom in how to help Isaac transition into a new sleeping habit. God is GOOD!
I am also just so thankful for my sweet amazing family. They are my everything. They challenge me and make me into a better Mom and Wife every day. Even through the tough times (which are frequent) they grow me and help me be a better person. Because the ugly stuff has to come out to know it's there and to make a change. I love them so much! I thank God so much for Matt, Logan and Isaac. Each of the men in my life are so wonderful and unique and each brings something special to this family. I don't think I thank God enough for them. Sometimes the tough times can seem so ...well..tough. And I, we, tend to think it's terrible and while it may be....it's also growing us. I thank God for those challenges. Those times to forgive and to love even more then before.
What are you Thankful for this Thursday?
God Bless!
Ahh! I like when I can be thankful for sleep too, but unfortunately I'm not getting much this week! Glad Isaac is sleeping well. It's easy to forget to be thankful for family because they're around all the time, but we should be especially thankful for our hubbies and all they do for us! God definitely gives us challenges too, but nothing we can't handle. Have a great weekend! (Oh, and thanks for the shout-out :)
ReplyDeleteNo problem Jennifer! Your stories inspire me! :) So thank YOU :) You are so right....our hubbies do so so much for us...and how often do we thank them!? I want to try and be more intentional about that! ;) Have an awesome weekend!
