Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for this little girl.

I am thankful for the beauty and trust in her eyes and the delight she has when she looks at us.  I am thankful for the moments when she wants to share something with me and so she will pull back from snuggling me to gurgle something and then snuggle in again. I am thankful to be her mom.

I am also thankful for the humble moments I have had recently to be taught or to teach by the spirit.  A friend from HS died last week tragically and I had the chance to teach my son something more about prayer as we knelt down together to pray for the boys family so that they could have peace and comfort during this difficult time.  I am grateful to be Lyman's mom and I hope that he will learn to depend upon the Lord during his times of trial too.
