I so desire contentment and thankfulness to be a hallmark of our family’s life. OH so much prayer over that. Because let’s be honest, it can be dang-hard to have those things mark our days. But, it is what we are called to do. I smile over the moments where I can see that the Lord is extra gracious – he makes contentment and thankfulness go hand in hand – and they come easily. How undeserving I am of these times, yet I am so grateful.
Last week was one of those times for our family – thankful for fall / content to live in a place of beauty and alongside community. A treat of a day!
Our Early Childhood PTA met and had the kiddos decorate pumpkins (and not just pie pumpkins, legit pumpkins!). One of the things I love about my girl – she is a pumpkin lover. As soon as Christmas is through, this child begins to ask about when the pumpkins will return to the arboretum.
Starting out the day right: eating tacos, I mean wallets.
Getting their workout in! I just casually walked with my friend while the big sis’s did all the work. Now, there is the beauty of family!
Paint and Pumpkins – yes, please!
It is exhausting work…and so little understood. Naturally, the girls needed to just relax.
And then the nerve…they had to give up their sweet spots. Content to go with the flow. I should learn some lessons about contentment and the beauty of not needing to control things from these two!
