Whatever is Lovely

Finally Brothers,
Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Phil 4:8

I am so Thankful this week that I was able to remember to focus on the beauty in my children this week. I can not say there active, crazy, sometimes sweet, sometimes crazy, sometimes violent behavior has changed. I can say my heart towards it is changing. Whatever is lovely Lord that is what I want to see and think about.

I am Thankful for a little bit more order in my schedule

I am Thankful for a now 10 year old who is growing more independent yet still needs me.

I am Thankful for new insights into the mind of my 7 year old (whom I may never completely understand) :)


Thankful for the new to us cabinet my Dad and Mom gave us. :) Haven thinks it is the perfect place for a nap. The beauty of childhood and joy in the simplicity.

Thankful Thursday

I have been meaning to pick up on a few more weekly posts. 2011 is as good a time as any to start I would think.

I have been reminded this week of just how fast children grow. My youngest turned 3 and suddenly has turned into a little man. My oldest will be 10 this week. Yes I said it! 10! Double digits and far to mature while still being innocent somehow. What a burden I am feeling, Oh Lord guide my words and my heart and let me lead these children toward you in every way.

I am Thankful for these precious children God has given me.
I am Thankful that no matter how many times I repeat the same mistake I am always able to seek God and begin again.
I am Thankful to be blessed to have a husband who Loves and adores us, who I enjoy spending time with.
I am Thankful for Coffee
I am Thankful for the ability to teach my children at home, and learn a million new things about myself in the process.
I am Thankful for stepping out of my comfort zone, well I usually am once I do it. :)
