The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

September 15, 2015

{currently} 20 Things I Love: A Gratitude Journal vol.4

sunshine peeking through the clouds after a torrential downpour during soccer
watching TJ mummy-walk around the house
bedtime prayers with the boys
confidence in my own skin
less social media distractions, more time for things that matter
the kids’ enthusiasm for their co-op classes
reading funny stories just so I can hear J’s belly laughs
the first batch of homemade chili
feeling enough of a chill in the morning air to grab a sweater, if only for a few minutes
Sophie’s sweet love for TJ as she says, “Oh mama!  Look at him!”
a pile of books to read on my nightstand
my new fall jacket
the beginning of new friendships
listening to D read to me
a laundry basket full of clean, folded clothes
when Mark offers to cook dinner
learning something new along with the kids
the memories made with M as we do T25 together (who else in this house understands my Shaun T-isms?)
packaging Big White Farmhouse orders
this quote: “Because always, even in the darkest moments, in moments of sin, in moments of weakness, in moments of failure, I have seen Jesus, and I trusted Him…He has not left me alone.” -Pope Francis
