A crazy evening

I think I will add to my gratitude list from last time. I have had several opportunities to get frustrated this weekend. But I also have had sweet moments of remembering the truth--His mercy covers so much.

This is what I am thankful for tonight:

  • My baby girl is sleeping sweetly on my lap (even if she won't sleep in bed!) 
  • Ezra made it to the toilet when he threw up. 
  • He praised Jesus so genuinely when he started to feel better. 
  • I still get to read Winnie the Pooh aloud. 
  • Oliver showed true kindness to his brother and was helpful to me. 
  • Unexpected time with God's word. 
  • I definitely have not been bored with drew gone tonight! 

The song playing now is called "Words to Build a Life On" by Mike Crawford. It's about the beatitudes and the way God's kingdom is often upside down. I'm praying and believing that God is actively working in me as I practice letting many things go right now--making things new and beautiful and whole. He loves me. He really does. I am glad about that.
