Happy things-what are yours?

My music friends, when you see me next ask me if I've been playing them:)  They don't see me very much lately.

All of these people of course.

Happy things

I seem to be feeling slightly overwhelmed these days and maybe even a little sorry for myself.  Today at the church the theme was definately getting beyond yourself and serving others which was exactly what I needed.  So even if I'm feeling not pretty and overwhelmed I'm going to get over myself:)  To start here are some happy things from my life, you try it, it feels nice.

2 weeks, 2 weeks tomorrow.  It took so long yet it's going so fast:)  4 births I've had and yet 4 completely different experiences.  I think the lord must have something new for me to learn each time.  Elias made me work for him a little more, maybe he wanted me to know how much he was worth or maybe it was just so I could be a little bit more humble of a person, all I know is that birth has made me closer to Christ.  Such a physical feat I couldn't do alone!  He has suffered way greater for my sake so I think this small suffering for my own child is only fitting.  I am no perfect mamma of 4 kids, it's hard but I am so overwhelmed by gratefulness at having 4 beautiful perfectly healthy children.  Could there be anything greater?  Thank you to her and to her.  Thank you also to beautiful grandmas.  What a blessing to have them here for me.  

Today-A beautiful saturday with yard sales all over,  Today-a husband and child racing west, Today- a beautiful sister-in-law doing what it takes, living a real life and being such an inspiring example to me of commitment that I am all choked up:)Happy married life to you.    Missing them all.
