Today love is...

Today I had the ability to clean up after the weekend craziness with so much to be thankful for. It included:
* baking pumpkin pudding from scratch (by cooking down our pumpkins) for a little boy who loves it.
*vacuuming after what felt like a sandbox had entered our home.
* dusting the fingerprints off the counters, tables and mirrors only to find more imprints being made.
* finding my kiddo in her 'hide out' and tickling her feet when she thought I couldn't find her.
* praying for a character in my life that drives me crazy...that God can soften both of our hearts.
* choosing to stay home and bless my family with a clean and organized home when in fact, I'd rather be out and about.
* admiring the baby blessings God has placed in my life while mourning the loss of our friends' baby.
* waking up on the right side of bed and encouraging my family as they struggle waking up.
* introducing my kiddos to www.JellyTelly.com with the desire that every time they hear about Jesus, their passion for Him will increase.
* singing without feeling insecure.
* sitting on the floor to see all the candy bags for the 10th time
* praying that God will give me wisdom in how to parent, spend money and how to love on others.
* writing an email to a friend to wish her a great day.

How are you choosing to spend today?
