thankful!!

• being home!
• knowing that home is more about the 5 of us being together than it is a physical location
• eli saying "you better just get used to losing" (in the kindest of ways) as we began to play chess
• i played chess!
• caroline & eli's reaction to my tears (my children ministered to me....i was amazed...and blessed)
• emma sitting in her little rocking chair rocking her doll
• pretty pink fingernails painted by caroline
• another great coffee date with a beautiful lady who loves her Lord.
• the phrase "not rehearsing worry"
• my quilt (still very thankful that my mom was willing to make me a quilt instead of an afghan...her afghans are lovely....but i really like my quilt!)
• that it "cleaned up quicker than i thought" - that's always nice
• the lesley family of THREE!!!!!!!
• knowing that sometime i WILL blog more than "just" thankful thursday lists. sometime.
