Multitude Monday

During a sweet conversation last week, we talked about things that encourage us...

as mothers,
as teachers,
as wives,

but most importantly followers of Christ:)

And I shared with my friends, how encouraged and refreshed I am when I make it a practice to read and soak in Ann's writings (and pictures) at Holy Experience. And when I take the time to join her in giving thanks for the awesome gifts God gives me weekly, daily, and usually every hour.

Regretfully soo many times I see the "gifts" as burdens.... another sock laying on the floor, another meal to prepare, another lesson to complete or sink to scrub out.

In the midst of racing through another (cold!!!!) week, I've taken a bit of time to pray for a right attitude and for a spirit of thankfulness....

in the little (big) things!

Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
