Thankful? (Moms' e-mail: May)

Hello mommies!

I hope you are having a good week filled with spiritual blessings in Christ!

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. (Eph. 1:3) "

Oh dear...I had a brilliant moment of inspiration just a bit ago, but when Josiah called to me, /desperately/ needing my attention for /no/ particular reason as he shuffled out of the bathroom, through the hallway and into the dining room with his underwear and shorts crumpled at his ankles, the inspiration left me. Sigh...story of my life. I'm guessing you can relate or could at some time. Maybe the interruption was divine intervention and my inspiration wasn't what we all needed today.

But, hey, here is a practical thought. How about we think of at least three things that we are thankful for in our husbands and children or whatever or whomever else in your life you want to share thankfulness for. "...in everything give thanks..." (part of I Thess. 5:18) Feel free to share your list with all of us to help inspire and encourage us all. :)

Here goes...God, I thank you for:
*my husband's patience with me when I'm being a less than exemplary mom/wife (especially during "that time" of the month)
*my husband's dedication to the Lord, our family, and his job
*the unique personalities that You gave to each of my two children
*chocolate chip cookies

Well, my eldest is waiting for some computer time, so I'll wrap this up... I'm truly thankful for all you mommies, and I'm so proud of how you all are loving one another. Let's keep it up! And as always, pass on your prayer requests and praises so we can uphold each other in prayer this week!

In His Grace,
KP
