Thankful Thursday

I have much to be thankful for on this Thursday. Lately the 'winter blues' have seemed to have gotten the better of me. Growing up we, as kids LOVED winter. We would go outside and play for hours it seemed. And so I vowed to myself to one day do the same thing with my kids so that they too would have the love of winter and the love of snow. Needless to say my plan isn't working out so well. However, today was a good day. I attend BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) each Thursday and the kids go with me. It's quite a feat to get all three of us up, eat breakfast, get dressed and out the door by 8:30 in the morning. Usually we cut it close but today we made it out in great time! So I'm thankful for a reliable car to get us where we needed to go. I'm thankful for a reason to get ourselves up and out the door this morning. I'm thankful for a good discussion group today with encouraging women.
After BSF the kids and I went out to lunch and proceeded onto the store to pick up some things. Keira had been given a one dollar bill by a friend from church, we'll call him Uncle Andrew. And she was super excited to be able to get some stickers. Our challenge was going to be to find some stickers for just $1. But we were successful and Keira had such pride going up to the cashier, putting her stickers down and paying for them.

I'm thankful for the little things like paying for stickers :)
And I'm so thankful for our little princess! God is good....all the time!
