Thankfulness

So I am going to give this a try.  The things I list will be random and have no particular order to them.  This seems like it will be so easy . . . I have so much to be thankful for, certainly more than 40 things, I think.  The second item for me will be much more difficult but I am going to try. Obviously I can not do this alone but with the Lord’s help I should succeed.  And surely during this season where there is so much need, I can find someone to bless.

#1.  Being that it is my oldest child’s birthday, I am thankful for my daughter Kayla.  The Lord blessed us with her 28 years ago today. I was 19 and Richard was 21, wow! So young.  She is a beautiful young lady and an awesome mother to Drew and Audrey.  Dear Lord, thank you for Kayla.

Speaking of them,  I have spent the last 52 hours with them.  Chase took Kayla out of town for her birthday and I kept the kids.  I spent Monday and Tuesday night at her hours and brought them to the farm during the day.  I kept them at Kayla’s house today as Drew and I made her a birthday cake and he made her a card.   Kayla's birthday

He would stick the candles is so far or with the wick down!  HAHA.  And he kept sticking his finger in the icing so he could lick it off.        Kayla's birthday 2

Let’s just say I do not see how single mothers with absolutely no help do it.  I was absolutely mentally exhausted.  A 25 month old and a 6 1/2 month old require 100% of your attention all day! 

Until tomorrow.
