Multitude Monday 261-280

261. the beauty that is in our frosty land these days

262. a Friday field trip down "in the city" without a headache despite harsh sun while driving, cold air outside, parking too far from the museum and nearly getting lost in the skyway system, oh, and paying to much to get out of the ramp due to losing the ticket... definite headache material, and yet there was none... it was a good day

263. dry roads on Friday and Saturday while we were out and about and I was behind the wheel

264. overcoming my urge to wimp out and stay home on Saturday

265. meeting the sweetest alpacas

266. our first pair of snow shoes

267. 10 yr old son deciding to make our 2nd pair of snow shoes

268. coughing and wheezing, though not subsiding, is lessening day by day

269. more than 1 day in a row with sunshine!

270. finding a couple coupons I think I'll actually use

271. impromptu steak dinner with husband after kids in bed

272. sparkling peach juice shared with my love

273. another 4 yr old turning 5!! Our sweet and silly little Hope is growing up so fast!

274. children who think my cake decorating is g-r-r-eat! beauty, even cake beauty, truly is in the eye of the beholder...

275. sisters wrapping up things of their own to gift to their sister on her birthday! It touches me that our children always do that!

276. the calendar filling up a bit more as spring approaches

277. my husband who works long hours to provide for us

278. my husband who provides more than just money to pay the bills, but an example of hard-working responsibility

279. my husband who continues to tell me I'm cute

280. my husband who doesn't have anything to prove on Valentine's Day, because I already know that he loves me, every day, even on an off day, I still know it

Thank you, Precious Lord, for the many gifts You have seen fit to give to me, today, and every day. All I have to give back to You is my thanks, and my life, and my love- here they are, they're Yours.
