For Christmas my amazing hubby bought me a devotional. You see we buy Christmas gifts with some sort of a guide. The kids all get 4 things: Something they want, something they need, something to help them grow spiritually, and some fun from Mommy and Daddy. So, in keeping with that same theme, my hubs bought me One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp which is inspired by the Authors blog and own journey into a life of thanksgiving. I am super excited about my new found mornings and time to read my Bible, study a devotion and have a cup of coffee while my sweet pie princess sits next to me eating her oatmeal.
This morning I decided to start including Gracie girl in my devotional time, I know it will only be a few short years before she is gone at school with the rest of the crazies during this sweet time of the day, so we sat and I read and she ate. It was lovely. I am also writing letters to her, in a journal of sorts, so that someday she will see me for who I am. When she is teenager and we don't see eye to eye on everything or when she thinks she is alone in her thoughts or feelings, I hope she will read this and know that even her Mom struggled at times, that I felt alone at times, that I was scared and unsure at times. I hope she seems that my path has continued to bring me back to a loving, forgiving, GRACE giving God and that she runs to Him each moment her heart is troubled or feels alone.
This morning Grace is wearing this awesome footsie jammies.. don't you love footsie jams? I do! But my girl has S.T.Y.L.E.! She is wearing her sneakers over the stop of her footsie jams...
