This has felt like a very long week but packed with lots of fun and company :) I feel thankful for that :) It has also had some significantly stressful moments but I have survived; how could I not be thankful for that?!! Had a lovely moment on Friday when 2 yr old was asleep in car and 5 yr old was at school, and I spotted an old friend walking down the street, so I pulled up and gave her a lift to where she was headed, which made her early - so we sat in the car and chatted for about 40 minutes - love unexpected blessings like that - thank you God :)
Thankful for good friends at school taking 5 yr old there and then to the park afterwards while I was sorting out car issues. Thankful one of said friends lives round the corner, especially as only realised when it was time to leave, that I had no accessable car! Thankful that the bus going past the garage that I took the car to, turned out to be the one which goes all the way from my area to my parents', so I hopped on with 2 yr old and before we knew it we were being fed and looked after again! - and bumping into more old friends at the toddler group by my parents' :) Thankful for how well I've been looked after all week :)
Thankful my husband has a job he enjoys and which doesn't have him stuck in an office all the time but gives him things to look forward to and sunlight and fresh air and changes of scene and interesting things to hear about.
Thankful that God made us because he wanted children and friends and people to shower His love on regardless of where we're at, and that He doesn't view us as measly little unworthy worms but as precious sons and daughters.
Thankful for the free farm we visited yesterday which 2 yr old especially enjoyed, as well as 5 yr old, and Grandpa (who was probably the only person all day to show the pigs [an extended period of] affection!). Thankful the kids went to sleep relatively early last night so I managed to catch up with emails etc (though not my blog, which I forgot about!).
Thankful for my 5 yr old having the confidence and desire to go to the big kids group and stay without me so I could relieve my dad from looking after my 2 yr old in the littlies group at my parents' church this morning. Thankful for the lovely lady who was running the big kids group and really helped 5 yr old feel welcome and at ease without over-doing it. Thankful for the fun we all had at the museum and park this afternoon. For the museum itself and the fact that it's wam and free and open on Sundays!
And last but by no means least, for food and heating! xxx
