Christmas Time

Oh this time of year.
Children are happy, people are out and about.
It is wrestling season and trap season in our little neck of the woods
so we are super busy and there is an excitement too.
We put up our tree early this year and I have really enjoyed that.
I think the kiddos have also, although my oldest is away more than he is
home it seems.
With the spring like weather we have been having,
it almost doesn't feel like Christmas.
But the joy and good will around me
 remind me every day of the good in people.
Ethan will be attending his first winter formal this Saturday night.
There is shopping to be done, more play rehearsals for
the last two performances and of course wrestling meets
and trap practice.
With all of that I am grateful to the ones who ground me.
So blessed to the ones who know me so well and
keep the Christ in Christmas.
This lovely addition to our mantle was made by a dear friend.
Can I tell you that I am in love with it?!
So sweet!
I hope you guys have a wonderful day.

little gifts

 
 Gifts come in all different sizes.  My favorite are the ones wrapped in the people I adore.  Their hearts, their smiles, their laughter.  Memories are also a precious gift.
      These are the gifts of life that all to often we take for granted.  The air we breathe, the hugs from those we love, TIME.
     I have been thinking a lot about the gifts I am given on a daily basis. Unconditional love from my children, tenderness from my husband, attentiveness from my 5th graders.
My sweet husband packs the herbs that I am taking each day and makes sure my water is alkalized and that I have everything I need for the day.  My oldest son helps my little girl out to the car with her cheer bag, or backpack. Cameron makes sure the animals get to their special room before we leave. These are things that Bless me in the biggest way. These little deeds, or gifts warm my heart and make me smile.
      The little things....They really are the GRANDEST things!!!
       What little things are you most grateful for? Love to hear about them. Be the Blessing today!!!!
