Thankful Thursday

There is so much for which I am grateful.

Thankfulness is too small a word to encompass the gratitude and appreciation I feel every moment for this little life that has made me a mom. She is my joy, my sunshine, my everything wonderful.

I am thankful for so many aspects of who she is and what she does.

I thankful for

her ability to find joy in everything she does.

her constant curiosity and sense of adventure that inspires me to be just a little more adventurous.

her courage in the dark, in thunderstorms, or the deep end of the pool.

her courage in the bigger things like new homes in stranges places and facing the fears she still holds.

her constant affection and sincerity in showing her love and devotion.

her gentle nature with other children.

her strong spirit...even the seriously strong-willed side.

her determination to learn and overcome her struggles.

her helpfulness whether hanging up laundry on a hot island afternoon or cleaning her room.

her neat freak habits that find her bed properly and precisely made, Gracie style.

her storytelling.

her smile that melts me every day.

her cuddles and snuggles.

her laughter and sense of humor.

her love for Jesus.

her love for her mommy and daddy.

I guess I could just say, I am thankful for who God made her to be and how she touches the lives around her.
