Grateful
#446 – a baby who decided a few weeks ago that crying all day was over rated and he’d prefer to smile
#447 – incredible inspiration and wisdom on keeping your home in order
#448 – learning to live with the sting of regret and making the choice to live today well
#449 – sore ab muscles
#450 – a sunny NW day, worth the 8 months of rainy, cloudy wait
#451 – the chance to share God’s leading and power in front of others and doing it without choking
#452 – getting through crazy May birthday season
#453 – the way his 33 year old heart puffs with pride when I tell him what an awesome job he did
#454 – possibilities
#455 – Daddy and son campout on the horizon
#456 – how freeing it is to pay with cash and have a budget, thank you Dave Ramsey
#457 – gazillions of new ideas for next year for school
#458 – parents who, though married over 3 decades, still pursue growth and change and challenge and Jesus with passion
#459 – a date night
#460 – weeks late berries coming on finally ready for harvest this next week!

wonderful list! i especially like 447… something i need and thrive on! so nice to meet you this morning!
me too Amy! instead of focusing on the space limitations and how to fit these kids and our stuff here, I much need to choose to make the most of what we have and simply give away what we don’t have space for and find order for what we can keep.
I was going to ask for the wisdom you received in this area! I need some, badly!
Glad to hear the baby is crying less and smiling more 🙂
I might just have to blog about it, I went to a workshop on de-cluttering last weekend at a homeschool convention and it was fabulous and practical and doesn’t involve me reading a whole book 🙂
I am catching up after our travels. Always fun to see what you are thinking about. As one of the generation that has amassed more stuff than any in history, I say “amen” to letting go of things that clog not just our homes but our very souls. It is tiring to keep, maintain, hold onto so much stuff. It keeps us from the people who are the most important thing. Keep those things that are the part of the precious story you want to pass on. Let go of the rest and dispose of it in ways that give blessing and life to others.
