It's The Little Things...

Like chocolate chip cookies after school.


Holding hands at the dinner table and thanking God for His provision and care.

A good book.

The sound of rain hitting the rooftop and the roll of thunder off in the distance.

Sending the boys off to school with a hug and "I love you".

The morning phone call with my sister.

Having my husband go to the grocery store this morning just so I don't have to go out in the rain.

My daughter's smile.

    Sweet! Just thought about the million small things my mother did for me as I wrote a tribute to her this morning. God Bless! Thanks for sharing.

    I love that you recognize how important the morning phone call with your sister. My sister and I talked lots during the week, but ALWAYS on Saturday mornings. Sadly, a few years ago at age 49, she died suddenly of a heart attack. I still find myself going to the phone to call her.

    Christy, if I credit you, can I steal this pic? My mom and Seth made chocolate chip cookies yesterday, but juggling Erin...I didn't get a good pic, and I'd love to do a post on the day.

    PS -- glad you had a great Tuesday. xoxox

    Great post! So very important to stop and savor our sweet everyday blessings. (I've even considered making a post like this a regular feature on mine.) There is much to be said for living with a grateful heart!
