Thankful

Whew! The past couple weeks have been full! These pictures don't even close to cover it! We have celebrated Adam's 31st b-day, Annabelle's 6th, abe got his first haircut, and lala came to visit us, Adelyn completed her first round of gymnastics, Annabelle had DEAR day at school, Adelyn had dress like a community helper day. We got a trampoline and we all love love it!

God has showed out in so many ways in my personal time with Him. He is ever chiseling. I have been reminded so much lately of this verse: "Remember the things I have done for you in the past! For I alone am God! I am God and there is none like me! Isaiah 46:9. Sometimes I fall back into old patterns because I forget where I have been and what all God has done for me. I don't want to do that. I want to live remembering the ways God has proved faithful and the ways that He has given me His strength and power in my weakness.

I am so thankful for all of the little blessings He gives to me like being able to take Adelyn to gymnastics, getting to be AB's room mom and getting to get Abraham out of his bed from naps all day. I am so thankful I am able to stay home and although it can be so tiring I never want to have an attitude of taking it for granted. Reminding myself of all of the things I am thankful for helps me to keep perspective. And when I look at a week (or two weeks) at a time of what all I have enjoyed and can thank God for I am always overwhelmed at His goodness to me! 

That my glory may sing your praises and not be silent! Oh Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever! Psalm 30:13
