Gratitude Thoughts #16, 17, 18

Connor was very tired!


Wow, I am having a hard time keeping up. Who knew gratitude would be so easy to forget?


#16: My new couches are coming next week. It makes me feel materialistic, but I am grateful that we can afford to buy something nice for our home. It really isn't intrinsically important, but sometimes it can show people that making company comfortable is important to us.





#17: Ethan came up to me last night and said that if Santa could bring everyone food that needed it, he (Ethan) didn't need anything for Christmas. He was very serious with tears in his eyes. Sometimes I forget that my kids know what is going on in the world. I told him we would for sure be helping others this Christmas and that we would let Santa know about Ethan's wish. He was very excited to go food shopping for the food bank this weekend. I'm grateful for Ethan's sweet and giving nature.





#18: I'm also grateful for school teachers. I get to volunteer in two of my kids' classes during the week and it always amazes me to watch these teachers. They have total control of their classes and they are nurturing up to 30 kids at a time. Thanks Miss Udy and Miss Knowles! You are awesome.
