Thankful

I am filled with gratitude and thankfulness right now. Honestly I wish I would have this mindset more often, or that I would be more aware of all the things I can be thankful for. Today has started out great. We haven't done anything exciting, but I am completely content. I've got to hang out with my two precious boys, skype with my mom and dad, pay bills and bake bread with Max. Even though paying bills is not the most fun activity in the world, I actually enjoy doing it. By mailing of checks, I am reminded of how God is providing for us. Sometimes I mail them off asking God to provide for us and trying to trust him, and sometimes I am overflowing with gratitude for how he has provided. Today is such a day. Thank you, Jesus!
