the simple things...
Do you ever have those days when you overflow with thankfulness? As believers, that should be everyday! But I'll be the first to admit that I don't always feel like that. This first picture is of Henry playing the other day in the sink. He could do this for hours if I wasn't constantly thinking of the water bill! He was so content and having so much fun "washing dishes." I took the next 2 pics that evening... and again, I was reminded of how thankful I am for these little blessings in my life. I had just gotten Henry new books from the library - and he was so interested in them. He was quietly looking through them and Jonathan was playing with Wyatt on the floor. Somedays I struggle to be content with the simplicity of my life -- but thankfully the Lord reminds me that we can have great joy even in these simple things.

great post, Michelle. Thanks for the reminder... I too struggle with with contentment at times. A thankful heart is what I want to have!
All 4 of my kids LOVE playing in the sink. They'd wash their hands for an hour if I let them! :) Simplicity...I long for more of it. My day to day life is simple, but I would love to live on several acres in the mountains in a smaller town/community, have a garden, etc. Big city and "busy"ness all around..not a fan! :) That's why I love homeschooling and activites that keep our family day to day life simple. Not having to be on the go day after day! Like you, I am grateful for the simple things and praise the Lord that I am able to be home with my kids and observe those simple little things that make them giggle, or whatever! We do have so much to be thankful for! Great post!
