Grateful Heart Friday

I missed last week's Grateful Heart Friday since Bella had surgery that day. So, I wanted to get back into my groove today!

I am grateful that Bella's surgery was successful! In the last week, her eye hasn't floated out into the "lazy" position one time! For over a year, it's been an issue for her to try to control her eye... but in the last week, she's been a whole new little girl. It's starting to look less inflamed; the swelling is gone; the redness is almost gone! THANK GOD for a great surgery!

I am grateful for my mom and in-laws who came over last weekend to help with the kids. Their willingness to help out is SUCH a blessing!

I am grateful for a sweet-hearted son, Xander. I have a friend who's going to Myrtle Beach this week for spring break. He asked her to get him some shells while she's there, and he wanted her to be sure to bring back some extras for Asher! Such a nice big brother!

I am grateful for my friend, Brandi. We met when I was 13 years old (ok, if you don't wanna do the math, that was 20 years ago!)! Our families moved together from Florida to Colorado when I was 15 years old because our parents got a job at the same place...pretty cool, right? Well, over the years, I moved to OK and she moved back to FL... BUT in spite of the miles between us, we've managed to maintain our friendship! GOD blessed her and her husband, Paul, with their first pregnancy last month... WAHOO! I am so happy to have her in my life!

I am grateful for the beautiful sunset tonight! God is good, isn't He?? In spite of the horrible wildfires all over the state of Oklahoma today, HE managed to give us a gorgeous sunset to remind us that HE is in control! YAY GOD!

So...now it's YOUR turn... what do you have to be grateful for?

Ugh... I posted a nice long post from my phone last night, but apparently it didn't stick. So I guess I should be grateful my computer is back up and running- and it didn't cost me anything! :)
