Thankful Thursday
It has not been the best of weeks and yet I see so much to be grateful for.
- The opportunity to share with and encourage other mums of young children to notice goodness in their lives at MOPS. I know what a difference this practice makes for me (especially in the really tough first year of my daughter’s life). Sharing tools and tips to help build this habit meant a lot to me.
- A husband who is willing to take carers leave to look after our sick daughter so I can go to work. It makes me feel valued and that he values the work that I do as well. He is an amazing dad.
- Supernatural energy that got me through a full day of work and an event I had been looking forward to after only two hours of sleep thanks to a vomiting daughter.
- The effort to drive through peak hour traffic to take my daughter to a concert of one of her favourite singers was so worth it. Her delight was abundantly evident to all around her. I love that she can enjoy music while getting solid truth about Jesus. Colin Buchanan was excellent.

- Finding a delicious, easy to make and healthy dairy free “yoghurt” recipe. I miss yoghurt and this has been a true treat.
- Watching my daughter discover new skills and enjoying creative pursuits.

| Attempting to create her own loom band creation. This was her chosen quiet time activity. Rubber bands everywhere! |
