Life has felt a bit overwhelming this past while as we are trying to sell our house but thankfully, God was able to calm me and send support, touching my heart exactly when I needed it.
* syrup-y kisses by a certain kiddo 2 hours after breakfast
* looking outside only to be distracted by the different heights of hand prints on the window
* reaching for the phone to call my sister, only to have her call me
* having a friend call me and pray for me over the phone (x3)
* receiving a touching email, speaking love and value on an issue where I thought I was alone
* when it was down to 2 hours before an appt, a friend came over (without being asked) bringing pictures, lamps and a hug to help me through this process
* taking a time-out to play with my kids and completely savouring the moment
* cleaning up a room only to walk past it moments later with everything out of place: made me realize that my kids are normal, healthy and can adjust to change
* putting my tired kids to bed and they actually stayed asleep all night long for 12-13 hours...the night that Kris was out of town
* taking my kiddo to see the walk-in doctor and being told we were the next patients...NO WAITING!!!
* booking a hotel, and having one last theme room available for us as someone cancelled their reservation while I was calling the hotel
* going to a store with my girls one of which was throwing a temper in several aisles and of course I was getting nasty glares...(which put me on the brink of losing it myself) and an elderly man paying in front of me, spoke words of affirmation that went right to my heart.

You have been going through alot lately and I have been thinking of you and praying for you. You have been there for me and now it's my turn to repay the kindness, so if you need anything, you know where to reach me!
I am so thankful for our Heavenly Father knowing when we need peace and comfort.
God Bless
all kinds of blessings from above! :)
It's good to hear that you are being blessed in all sorts of unexpected places. God knows what you need, even before you do. I love your honestly and transparency and continue to pray for you.

Nice reminder that God shows us little ways to appreciate our lives. Have a great weekend!
