  1. I got tired reading your thankful list:-) You certainly are a busy mommy!! I think the most wonderful thing about keeping track of the day to day goodness of God, is that when things look their grimmest you know that He will work on your behalf, because you've seen Him at work in your day to day. That's been enormous for me this last year. See you tomorrow!
