vendredi 15 février 2008

172.  A very warmed and assured heart by an unexpected surprise received on Valentines from my sweet friend!
173.  The time it took to make such a precious and unique gift...
174.  A new book to read in English! Hooray!
175.  A good, hard laugh that brought me to tears...
176.  Encouraged by thoughtful words, and a reminder to be searching for ways to have a heart full of gratitude.
177.  Thankful for the sunshine we've now had for 7 days in a row!!
178.  So grateful to have some help from some precious grand-parents that have arrived to give these very weary, tired, over-worked (and definitely under-paid!) parents a break...
179.  Time with my mother-n-law pruning roses in our yard.
180.  Watching our kids enjoy time with their grand-parents...
181.  Reminded by the upcoming birthday of my almost two-year old, who had such a difficult beginning into this world, that God's hand is continually at work... EVEN when in those sad, desperate moments we don't seem to see it... and thankful for HIS perfect peace that reassures us during the journey...
