Thanks flowerlady, very good post.

I'm so glad you're adding things. I love all your entries! Keep thinking good thoughts!
Thanks so much for the encouragement flowerlady. I just wanted to say that I miss you and your family. Now that you live so far away I will probably try to come over:)
35. Great conversation with a long-time friend.
36. Son wanting to read "Jesus dies" over and over again and then asking questions.
37. Daughter's smile that lights up a room.
So awesome to hear of all the wonderful things in your life, especially the heart surgery results. Waiting for that phone call (wink, wink!)
Great post! What a great reminder of all we have to be thankful for. How about:
1. My 2-year old daughter grabbing my hand and saying, "Play with me, Mommy!"
2. My son saying "I'm so glad God made you my mommy!"
3. Watching my children sleep.
4. Praying with my son a few nights ago and leading him to Christ.
