The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

October 26, 2016

{currently} 20 Things I Love: A Gratitude Journal vol.9

when TJ decides to nap (!!!) and Sophie tucks him in
a satisfyingly tall tower of freshly folded clothes
J’s drawings scattered throughout the house

when Mark makes coffee in the coffee press
amazingly supportive teachers who work hard for my kids
TJ’s face when his brothers come home from school
watching my belly move and flow as this baby moves around
warm sweaters
hearing Sophie sing songs about how much she loves me
my church and our holy priests
laughing with Mark until I pee (thank you, multiple pregnancies)
enjoying a good book again after a long break
M’s tender heart and excitement for the new baby
watching the leaves change ever so slightly on my drive to school
surprise Pajama Drive donations arriving in the mailbox (thank you!!)
feeling peace about our current home even though it isn’t our dream
when D cuddles up next to me on the couch
pumpkin spice doughnuts
reuniting with old friends and watching the kids not miss a beat
this quote I found on Pinterest: “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.  Sometimes that’s all I can say to find peace, strength and clarity.  He is enough – always enough.”
