May's Daily Gifts

1... Watching our oldest having so much fun performing in Schoolhouse Rock Jr.

2...  Singing with our youth choir. They are doing an anthem for Mother's on Sunday and they asked some of the momma's to sing with our kiddos. It's going to be beautiful.

3...  Water.  We are so lucky to have clean, free flowing water whenever I turn on the faucet.

4...  My minivan. While I still despise being a minivan momma, this fellow has toted us around to multiple events over the last 6 years.

5...  A chat on the way home with my momma.  Even though we don't live too far away from each other, it's hard to see her and my dad often.  I seeing them, but love connecting with them any way I can.

His gifts are forever reminding me of His goodness.

1.  Fog. I never thought of it as a gift, but this morning it covered Cincinnati like a blanket and kept us warm.  It also gave me a chuckle because our youngest was cracking up at how the cars just "disappeared".

2. Health. We have girls that are healthy enough to be active. What a blessing.

3.  Penny Loafers. Today I had a visit to a doctor and a man was wearing these loafers and he had the pennies in them!!!! Memories......

4.  Hubby coaching. What better way to show God's love than to serve others.

5.  Sweet friends who don't mind if I share too much information.

3... lazy night on the couch with shows and grading.  Only one more class to grade!

5... waking up to rain and falling back to sleep to it softly hitting our window.

Today... coming home to cold, waking up because I had to, and going back to work made life a little bit trickier today.  But there was still a LOT of goodness in this crazy day!

1...  First graders who were worried because I wasn't at school for 2 days.
2...  Hugs from firsties who genuinely missed me. :)
3...  Bathing suit lines that remind me of the warmth and light He gave us while in Florida.
4...  A smile from my firstie Birthday Buddy.  I gave her a shell that I found on the beach for her.  That smile is just priceless.
5...  A conversation with Bridgette about how much we love each other.  She also put her heart (made with her sweet little hands) into my heart by pressing that heart onto my chest and then she asked me to do the same to her.  Sweet, sweet girl.

1.  Flying above the clouds.  Looking down at all His glory in wonder.

2.  A *few* m&m's from my Sweet and Salty Mix.  Made me miss my girls...

 they would have eaten the chocolate. 

3.  One last trip to the beach with these ladies.  Just to say goodbye. :(  It was so, so sad.

4.  A sneaky little lizard that was in the house. My sister saved him and put him back in nature. 

5.  Home at last to find a momma nesting in our magnolia tree. Hopefully one day soon we'll hear the cheeps of little baby birds. What joy that will bring!
