Grateful Eight

I have decided to do a list of things that I am grateful for. Heather always does a Sunday's Seven list and there have been other people who do things like Friday's Five, Saturday's Six or Thanksliving on their blogs. I have always liked these lists! They have always challenged me to think of things that I am grateful for in my life.

So why did I decide to start one now......??? Well, it has been a crazy past few months, with these past few weeks being even crazier!! We have learned a lot of valuable lessons, which I am really grateful for, but I have been really down lately and have really been struggling. So rather than let these things continue to get me down, I have decided that it is high time to start listing off the many blessings I do have in my life.

Now why did I choose "8"?? Well 4 is my favourite number, but I couldn't just do 4 things, I needed to challenge myself a little more, so 4 + 4 is 8!!! :o)

So this week I am grateful for:

1. Arnott's Yummy Tim Tam cookies. I loved them in Australia and made a point of shipping some back with our stuff, but we can now find them here in Canada. Superstore here in Kelowna had them!! They are so yummy!!

2. Mail from our good friends in Australia!! I miss them so much!! We got a Wiggles DVD for Zech and lots of great scrapbooking stuff for moi! I don't know if you can tell or not, but most of the stuff is "Aussie" themed so that I can scrap book our time in Australia!! Thanks Kirrily and Suzy!!!! I am still waiting for my scrapbooking stuff to arrive!!! :o(

3.) House Sitting. We will be house sitting for the next three months!! Saves us a lot of money!

4.) New Friends.

5.) Family. We are so grateful for our family who has helped us out so much this past month.

6.) My Sweet little boy. Even when he is mad at me! He is such an amazing little boy, with a real soft, caring little heart!!

7.) My wonderful husband who is such an inspiration to me and always challenges me to go deeper with my Faith. I love our talks, I love our goals and I love that we have the rest of our lives together to have more talks and reach our goals!

8.) Jesus Christ and the sacrifice that he made for each and every one of us when he was nailed to the cross!!
