Counting Blessings - day 7

1. Imagination - loved seeing all the different ideas and creativity from the various boys this morning
2. Postal Service - we're so blessed to have (generally) reliable mail providers.
3. Opportunities to dress up - we had the privilege of going out for a meal with friends this evening and it was such a lovely time and is always fun to have the chance to dress up pretty/'handsomely' 
4. Paint - to have messy fun with
5. De-icer spray! - That came in handy this evening  :)
6. Nanny's and Grampy's - to dote on the kiddies.
7. New Toys - we're all excited to discover, with Charlie, all his news toys - people were so generous.
8. PRAYER! - we are so privileged to be able to have a personal relationship with God.  We can talk to Him anytime/all the time - He is always ready to listen.  Always ready to guide us and teach us, to encourage our hearts and comfort us. I often think of that song 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus'...  it talks about the trails and temptations we face and how we are heavy laiden because we do not carry it to God in prayer.  Prayer is such a gift and I think most of us don't use this amazing gift enough.
9. Ikea! - We bought some awesome units to store all my school equip in last month and I'm so thankful for the space it has given me.  :)
10. Washing Machine - We keep ours busy!  So glad I don't have to hand scrub everything!!!
