Grateful Heart Friday

Hello all! It's that time again... a time to remember all that there is to be grateful for! It's time for

To see where I "stole" this FANTASTIC idea, read Mommy Girl's Blog! This fellow blogger is an amazing, Christian woman who's blog I LOVE reading. She is my first "GRATEFUL" mention! She is very uplifting and encouraging and real! So glad I found her!!

Next, I am grateful for modern medicine. The last 2 weeks have been physically rough for me! I had strep last week... the worst sore throat in my life. This week, I have shingles! SHINGLES!!?? I went to the doctor this morning thinking I had been bitten by something... I have horrible pain & horrible sores. In my mind, shingles is for old people...or sickly people. I am neither. Well, Tim says I'm old, but really, I AM NOT! SO... in light of 2 weeks of feeling crummy, I am grateful for medications to help me feel better!

And, as grateful as I am for medicine, I am 100X MORE grateful for God's healing power! "And the Lord will take away from you all sickness." (Deuteronomy 7:15); "For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds." (Jeremiah 30:17) God is bigger than any illness or disease! I am grateful that no matter what comes against me, HE is faithful to heal me!

I am grateful for kids who are well behaved. When I have days that I question why I wanted to be a SAHM, I remind myself how good they are!

When we're out in public, people always compliment me for how disciplined they are! In one store, one of the employees tells everyone...every time I am there... how my kids are the best behaved kids she has ever seen! I am honored! I love these munchkins!

I am grateful for my friend Tami! Tami and I are so much alike that sometimes it creeps me out! I can talk to her about anything under the sun and not worry about weirding her out, or embarrassing her, etc. She has 2 beautiful baby girls that I absolutely adore and a great marriage! I love that she and I can just sit and talk for hours about anything OR nothing at all! So grateful that God put her in my life!! (pic on left is Tami, Xander, and her babies: Lilly & Elly)

I am grateful that the snow days are over (for now) and that Xander gets to go back to school on Monday! It will be so much LESS noisy for those few hours a day!! WAHOO for school!! (is that wrong?)

So, what about you? What do YOU have to be grateful for??
