My friend Deidre has the most wonderful idea! For the month of February she's listing the things she loves each day, and she has invited others to play along! So, if you want to play, jump on board!
I am a little behind the gang, but I confess that I love listing things that make my life wonderful. It is humbling and gratifying to count my blessings. So, without further ado, here are some things I love:
First, I love these two guys more than anything on Earth!
I knew love before them. I love my family and friends, but I never knew love this deeply. The kind of love that moves Heaven and Earth for their happiness. The love that overwhelms your entire being. And because I love them so much, it makes it almost impossible for me to wrap my head around how much God must love me/you.
The next thing I love is birthdays!
Why? Because we get to eat lots of cake and not feel guilty about it!!!! I just celebrated my 30th bday on Monday. It was really low key since we had about a foot of snow/ice on the ground. I spent the day at home with K and Baby K since our daycare was closed. (That was so much better than working as I had originally planned!) I mentioned this last post but Baby K's first birthday party is this coming Saturday. Unfortunately, we have more snow in the forecast. (So, as selfish as it sounds, would you please join me in praying for NO SNOW!?! Call me crazy, but I do NOT love Snow!!!!)
Today, what I love is this bible verse. Deidre shared it with me while I was walking through infertility. This verse has gotten me through so many hard times, both past and present.
"Not that I speak in respect of want: For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Philippians 4:11
I just love, love, love it! And Deidre, I love you for sharing it with me! (By the way, if you need to read a good, inspiring, Christian blog then jump on over to Deidre's. She is always inspiring me with her words of encouragement and parenting techniques. Plus, as an added incentive, you get a few laughs as well. God is using her blog to reach many people. I don't think she realizes how important it is to those of us who follow her.)
See you tomorrow!!!

Elaine, oh how I love YOU!
I am so excited you are joining me in listing things you love. BUT, what I am most excited about is that precious boy is going to have a birthday!!! How is that possible?? It just doesn't seem right he is going to be a year old.
On E's first birthday, I went ALL out. I haven't really since (as far as parties go), but just the thought of my long-awaited baby having a birthday was cause for a huge celebration. Oh, the possibilities. And yes I will pray for no snow just for that reason.
I am so proud of you and the Mommy you are!! Baby K is very fortunate to have you :)
