I made about two dozen muffins this morning. One was eaten. Dare I say another uneaten breakfast? But I have a plate- full of muffins versus a bare cupboard.
Mad-itude or gratitude?
One kiddo is sick at home today. The vomit bug has crossed over our threshold. Guess I get some much needed one-on-one time with my boy.
Mad-itude or gratitude?
One of my kids is less than thrilled about See You at the Pole. I can't reach in and fine-tune that heart. But God has a way of working in deep places.
Sad-itude or gratitude?
We had no activities last night. It was a rare evening where we were able to stay home-together.
Gratitude.
Last night right before bedtime, one of the kids hopped on the bed just to hang out with me and their Dad. It was a little crowded.
Full bed=Full heart.
Gratitude.
More muffins were added to my kitchen by a friend who came by this morning. And another sweet friend dropped by for prayer.
Gratitude.
My nine-year old nephew Levi sent me a text Sunday night with his mom's phone.
-Just to say "hi". I love it when he does that.
Gratitude.
Fall is in the air. Time for cooler weather and candy corn. My windchimes are singing an autumn tune.
Gratitude.
Therefore, let us offer through Jesus
a continual sacrifice of praise to God,
proclaiming our allegiance to his name.
-Hebrews 13:15
It's all about the attitude.
Muffins anyone?

I think that verse topped it perfectly. Of course I am partial to that verse since it is my baby girl's favorite. 🙂

Great verse. Great girl!

Gosh, you don't even KNOW how much I needed that!! Trying to focus on the positive and not the negative. For example: I should be happy my child is putting herself out there to lead SYATP for her school eventhough she does NOT want me or her daddy to be there! Breaks my heart BUT I am so very thankful that she wants to do this on her own. because she CAN! SO thanks Kristi SO very much. I now have tears of joy and not tears of sadness. 🙂
Kristi Burden
Jen, you should definitely be glad she
wants to do this on her own. That's awesome.
Focus is the keyword. Whatever is lovely, whatever is praiseworthy......think on these things. Easier said than done, but still...

Hug Emma and tell her I'm proud of her and that I'm praying for tomorrow.
