thankful

Elliott is practicing his songs for the Children's School of Worship this morning. In a few weeks he will be joining with a group of children to lead our church in worship at all three services. I am so proud of how hard he is working to learn the songs and hand motions. I was reminded this morning as he was singing that there was a time when the kids would get on stage and lead worship and I would wonder if I would ever have a child on that stage. I am so thankful for the two beautiful boys that God has given me. I love being their mommy. I am blessed to stay at home with them and to homeschool them (even though some days they wear me out). I am grateful to have a wonderful loving husband and to watch him be a great dad to our boys. We are surrounded by family and friends who love us. Our family is blessed beyond measure. Thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and giving us children and letting us see a glimpse of Your love through our love for them.
