A few weeks ago the pastor of our church encouraged us to think about praying as he does. He starts by thanking God for all the blessings of the previous day. Then he prays for the things and people he will encounter on that day. Finally he prays for things that are coming up that week.
Here are some blessings from yesterday:
JDaniel and I had a wonderful time at playgroup. We are so blessed to have wonderful people to play and visit with each week.
JDaniel took a nice refreshing nap yesterday afternoon. He has been hit or miss with naps lately. It was refreshing that he took at great one yesterday.
We have house with a big backyard to play in. The weather warmed up and we had a great time playing.
My husband has a job to go to. Not everyone can say that. We have friends that have been out of work for several months. They have said Monday is the hardest day of the week for them.

Gratitude is such a beautiful attribute – I know I can always do better, but we sure try and we sure have A LOT to be grateful for.
