This past week was so full as my little girls celebrated their sixth birthday.
It was also busy.
I have a hard time being busy. I tend to get overwhelmed and forget what’s truly important.
This week I didn’t stop to reflect on my blessings within the business of the little moments.
I was filled with tiredness and discontentment too many times.
It is when I stop to count my blessings within the business that I find refreshment and contentedness.
This morning as I finally stopped to thank, to count, and to reflect on the blessings of this past week, I was overwhelmed.
Overwhelmed not by the business, but by the gifts.
I have been given so much…so very much!
Within each moment there are blessings waiting to be acknowledged and counted.
This week I am thankful for…
82. tasks checked off my list
83. encouraging comments
84. six year old girls excited about their birthday
85. a living room camp out {in}
86. a successful shopping trip with all four of my children in tow
87. family traveling for hours to visit
88. birthday party for my girls
89. excitement and appreciation shown
90. soft lullabies playing over the baby monitor
91. my little girl working so hard to learn the books of the Bible
92. marching around the house behind Will
93. hearing that I’m his “best mommy”

Way to go- 4 kids to the store! That sounds like super mom to me 🙂 Love your list and that you took time to reflect on the past week!

It must truly bless your heart to hear her reciting the books of the bible! What a blessing!
And his best mommy? Oh that made me smile. I cannot wait until my baby boy (now 23 months old) start saying sentences and things like this. What a sweet and tender moment.

Best Mommie!!! That was just too much! Loved it! So glad I stopped by today as I was so blessed with your comments and your list. I can remember when I was learning the Books of the Bible. We had a melody that we sang the books to and it sure made it much easier. To tell you the truth, there are times I still sing it when looking for one of those hidden little books!!!!!
