~Thankful Thursday~

"Thankful Thursday"

There are so many things to be thankful for and I had in mind to write about other things... but as you know we NEVER KNOW what direction our lives will take from one minute to the next. I've been in an overall "chipper" mood this morning (all things considered) until just a few moments ago. I was cleaning out my husband's closet and found where I'd stored some "random" papers. Or so I thought... I quickly discovered there was a picture that Brent colored when he was 7. There was another where we were practicing drawing his letters, and then of course there's a hand print that was made in Vacation Bible School when he was 3 1/2 years old. As much as it hurts to see these today, I'm SO VERY THANKFUL for each of them. For now, they will be safely "tucked away" in his room. Eventually I'd like to take things like these and make a mural or something special for the wall in his room.

Here are our special pictures.....

His hand print at 3 1/2




Learning to write his letters....




One of his first lessons in school...






His sense of humor - he must've made this picture for his brothers. I say this because it has "stupid" written inside the hand print. I found this a few months ago...
