Time of Reflection

I have so many random thoughts today, so much on my mind but not certain what it all amounts to. I love having my blog and I love that so many of my friends now have one, what a great way to stay connected and to record the things on our hearts and in our lives. To jot my thoughts down is therapeutic and I have really missed it. I think sometimes unless I have something fun or encouraging to write, I tend to not.

But, as I sit here waiting for my youngest child to get home from school, I realize that I am anxious. Not about just one thing but about several things. I did get to spend a good amount of time in prayer today for those things that I am aware of but I also thought maybe blogging would help.

Things I am thankful for:

Hope, Grace and Faith (where would I be without this? I shudder to think)
My family (husband, children, parents and sister)
My husbands job.
Our home
Our dogs
Colorado
Friendships
Carpool
Health (good for the most part)
That I am blessed to be at home and not working outside the home
Evenings with my little family

Things that would make me feel better:

Knowing that my children have a relationship with God.
Knowing that my children would come to Kip and I and God with all their concerns.
Knowing that things at school are always good for my kids. It is so hard to send them away each day.
Knowing that we as parents are doing a ‘good’ job. Always can be better, obviously.
Knowing that my children will always have people looking out for their best interests.
That we will get through some of these growing pains really soon.
Prayer for Kip, the kids and me.
