One Thousand Gifts 2.5.12
Wow, what a week. We had so many BIG things happen, and I feel so humbled by the grace to wake up every morning and carry on through my tasks, big and small. School is now at a minimum level since we are packing up with great fervor and trying to spend some time at the new place getting some painting done. I am not as “come-what-may” as other homeschooling mothers, so I always have a hard time putting school to the side and believing that we’ll catch up later. But sometimes it is necessary. And in this case, we have had a couple of afternoons already of playing in the leaves and running around in the fresh air in our OWN backyard — imagine that! So God has supplied the grace to just roll with it and enjoy this time. Thankful.
213. a smooth closing on our new place
214. talking with the former lady of our house, appreciating all the work she’s put into the yard. She is a grade-A gardener, and I am the blessed recipient of twenty-five years of her efforts.
215. friends who say, “let me know if you need help,” and REALLY MEAN IT. So rare and wonderful!
216. a much-needed night out of the house with Laura on Friday, attending the NoDa All Arts Market. Catching up with Dana a bit and buying a new necklace from her shop. And I’m thankful that the fork ring I got stuck on my finger when I was trying it on…finally came off. Sometimes I wonder if I should be allowed out of the house.
217. answered prayer in a church meeting — honesty & openness
218. our homeschool co-op. I love the moms I’ve met there this year.
219. the pinewood derby! Such a fun night, win or lose.

It was our pleasure! I came home and told David all about the cool gadget on Josh's phone.
