Thankful Thursday!


Today I am thankful for the picnic I was invited to yesterday!  Her Rubiness and I were outside because I wanted to take some photos of her...  Well, she had a much better idea...  She ran in the house and came back with her Dora Picnic Basket.  Then she took me down to the picnic table that is part of our play set in the back yard.  She laid out all of the pieces, and even had me put my napkin on my "knee!"  Then she proceeded to serve me a taco, and some milk!  It was delicious!!!!  She truly is the gift that keeps on giving!!!

I am also thankful today for some very special blog friends, prayer warriors, and fellow adoptive pals:  Kim, Lisa, Leslie, Jenn, Heather, Jenn, Shauna & Stefanie!   Thank you for inspiring me to do more!  And, thank you for sharing this adoption and parenting journey with me!

Lastly, I am thankful for my husband, who reminded me last week that " If we don't use our ears to listen, how will we ever hear Him?"  He amazes me!  I love you honey!

Blessings on this Thankful Thursday!

What JOY I find every time I come visit your blog :) It just shines through your words and your pictures... and it's even written on your children's precious faces! How your family honors God by living a joy-filled life as His children :)
I am grateful to be on this journey with you as a friend, fellow mommy and child of the KING!
Happy Thankful Thursday!

I just love stories like these- it's always the simple things- that our girls think of, not us- that make life soooo wonderful! Ruby is the cutest thing EVER, and her smile is contagious!
