Wow, another week just flew by and there is so much to be grateful for!

This week I am grateful for:

1. A job that I am really enjoying and am super excited about!

2. Safety on the roads. This past week was my first week back at work and the 2 1/2 hour drive each day has been really hard. The weather has been a little rough, and there have been a few close encounters! Some nights I have been in bed before 9:00!

3. Night time cuddles with my two beauties. A little one who is learning so many new words each day (tonight was 'purple') and conversations that go a little like this:

Zech: Mom, do you know the kids that have nothing?
Me: Yes.....
Zech: I will give them my bed.
Me: Oh that is so kind and compassionate of you!
Zech: And I will wash them too and take care of them.
Me: (heart melting) That is exactly what Jesus wants us to do and tells us to do, isn't?
Zech: Yeah, I just so love them, I just so love everyone, just like Jesus.

Oh the lessons I learn from this little one!

4. A new character house to live in!

5. Visits with friends.

6. My husband who knows me, loves me, understands me, but most importantly prays for me.

7. Packages from the North Pole. The magic and miraculous signs of Christmas are definitely present. So much so, that it had both of us choking back tears, and two little ones thanking Jesus! Still in shock and extremely blessed!!

8. The magical, wonderful, joyful, blessed and true gift of Christmas--Jesus Christ!

Make sure you check in on Wednesday for my second 'wonderful Wednesday' giveaway!

Just thought I would leave you with this video that John showed me the other night! So cool!!
