I really don't know where the weekend went. We were so busy with a piano competition, visiting an old friend, and having new friends to our home. I didn't get any schoolwork planned. I didn't get 100% caught up on the laundry. I didn't get to finish that book I'm reading. Funny thing is, however, it was a great weekend. Sometimes God changes your whole schedule to make your realize what your priorities SHOULD be. I'm so thankful, and I'm so thankful to be able to blog each Monday about gratitude. The list continues - #631-650:
631. time changes -- yes, I AM thankful for that... gave my children more time to play in the backyard tonight with new friends
632. leftover birthday cake
633. the book of Proverbs - so much wisdom in one place
634. ANTYHING made by Burt's Bees!
635. an evening spent with new potential neighbors - praying all goes well with their final closing
636. an afternoon spent with a former teacher of my daughter... getting the chance to thank this wonderful woman for the superb foundation she gave my child
637. a newly created space in my bedroom for reading and devotions
638. again - THE TIME CHANGE - my children will sleep a little later this week!
