Because Sometimes I Need a Reminder

I am thankful that my husband has had the amazing opportunity these past couple of weeks to serve in Kenya, and to see the big things God is doing in the church in Nairobi.


I am thankful that every chair at my kitchen table has a person to sit on it.

I am thankful that every bedroom in my house has people living in it.

I am thankful that every bed in my house has someone to sleep in it.

I am thankful for two brothers in their new bunk bed who read stories in their beds at night.

I am thankful for two busy little sisters who play together and climb on the dressers after lights-out at night.

I am thankful for Emerson, and I am thankful that she is in our home and not in China anymore.

I am thankful for summer camp for 2nd graders.

I am thankful for swim team being over for the year.

I am thankful for grandmas who come and help with the kids while Hot Brandon is in Kenya.

I am thankful for grocery stores that offer free childcare.

I am thankful for laundry to wash, toys to step on, and a lawn that needs mowed because it rained.

I am thankful for international phone calls.

I am thankful for good books and good friends.

I am thankful for sprinklers and kiddie pools and patio furniture.

I am thankful for summer camp for 2nd graders.

And I am thankful that my husband comes home in three short days.
