Remembering To Be Grateful...



It seems like, no matter how many blessings one has, it is still sometimes hard to remember to be grateful. The bills keep coming, the house is never clean enough, the kids are throwing tantrums, etc...therefore, it is imperative to constatntly be assessing priorities, and taking the time to find and accentuate the good in every situation and to let go of the bad. This is all that is needed for a happy life. Deciding to be happy can be hard work, but once you have dedicated yourself to it, it becomes a habit, and then a lifestyle and then, eventually it is second nature and takes no thought at all. In that vein, i am deciding to see the good. I am choosing to be happy. My house may never be spotless but it is scattered with my babies toys; the unmade bed that I spent all night nursing my son in, the messy bathroom where G is learning to brush his own teeth...These are not eye sores to be moaned and fretted over, these are deliciusly messy reminders of a life that Love built...

This Home

This Home.
was built on Love,
Nourished with Laughter
Blessed by God.
And will be Protected from harm
by Strong Hands
and Happy Hearts
that will give Freely
towards Building a Haven
Around
the Lives they have created....

Looking forward to the week ahead with excitement and gratitude :)
