But anyhow, here it is.
As I was wrapping up my day, I found my heart overflowing with gratitude for the simple things as I walked through the going to bed process. A running diffuser with RC and Thieves for two boys dangling on the edge of sickness. Praying for a quick return to feeling 100%. the same diffuser that ran all night and day providing relief to Daddy O.
A new wooden door, unfinished, but hung and offering long awaited privacy for two boys. Offering relief to a Mom and two sisters who worry about intruding on Big brother, especially. A door that took Daddy O a chunk of his day off to acquire and install. Resulting in a relapse of illness and a missed night of work. Thankful for his efforts and acts of service to his family.
Brass..new door knob and sense of security. The day before we left town Little Princess' door knob broke in bits and had to be removed because the door was "locked" shut and there was a kitty crying inside. This door knob signifies the sanctuary from annoying little brothers on the other side. (Note all the marks around the door knob, I wonder how many were from pestering little brothers.). When Daddy O said he was on his way to get a door knob, "please one with a lock?!?!?!" she asked.
I didn't join in on the count the things you are grateful for through the month of November, because it is a habit I try to maintain all year long. From beautiful red sunsets to door knobs there is so much that God provides and we only need to recognize His provision. I pray, I will always be seeking ways to give Him thanks and see His presence in my life working masterfully demonstrating His love for me.
