Thankful Thursday

A couple of random bullets:

• I am so thankful my last post caused some of you who read to email or comment. Its so nice to meet who is reading. Thank you for all the sweet comments on the Princess posts. You all really brighten my day with your thoughtfulness.

• I have been helping Steffie learn to scrapbook with fotofusion and it has renewed my interest. I haven't really been trying to learn more or work hard at it in a while, but teaching someone else can spark you to begin practicing and just renew your enjoyment. By the way, doesn't her work look wonderful! She has only been doing it a couple of weeks now and is a pro! This should encourage any of you who want to, but think I can't do it, to give it a try. It just takes a little determination. Its alot of fun.

Since it happens to be Thursday I am going to join several of my fellow bloggers in doing a thankful post. I probably won't do it every week, but today I really feel like doing it. I am so so thankful for my children's love for one another. Watching them play all the time is such a blessing to me. I have just really praised God all week as I watch them have fun together. We have had a couple of warm days,( it was really crazy!) Almost 70 and then by that night 32 in 3 hours! But we enjoyed it while we could. Anyway, they were out riding big wheels, bikes, hunting rocks for a rock collection, making a huge pile of leaves to jump in, and they just were having SO much fun. I was watching and being all sappy, crying until I was stuffy, I am just so grateful for the opportunity to be their mother! I remember each time I began the adoption process I wanted my baby NOW, and now I am so thankful for God's timing for the perfect child He had destined to be mine. Oh how I wish I had just been more patient and grateful during the waits. I know so many of you are in what appears worse waits than I had; but just know He has a plan, hang on and be of good courage and cheer, for your child is coming. He/she is so perfect for your family. Keep listening for direction and He will lead you to your child. Just like the quote over on my sidebar,
We witness a miracle every time a child
enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles,
growing within the hearts of those who
wait to love them, are carried on the
wings of destiny and placed among us by
God's very own hands." -

He has a plan for you all I just know it.

Here are a couple of pages I did this morning:
