I ::Heart:: Faces

This week’s photo challenge over at I ❤ Faces is “Play”!  Well, in a house full of four little girls and one fun husband, it was hard to choose just one photo, but I finally settled on one from last winter.

It was early January and winter had already felt an eternity long. I was discouraged about kids, house, family, school.  I was a general crabby mess.  So my man decided to get us all out of our rut and take us sledding and he made me go, too.  In spite of the dreadful cold we had an amazing time and this little photo captures just a bit of the pure glee that we all enjoyed….

Counting the Multitudes

Challenged and encouraged by her words, I have been counting the multitude of blessings for several months now.  The first five hundred (plus) can be found over here.  On Mondays, I count.  A wonderful way to begin the week; giving thanks for the blessings obvious and some that don’t feel blessed at the time.  But He is always faithful and every good and perfect gift is from His hand.  In all things, we give thanks.
