Caleb and Andrew
At tight I fall into bed exhausted but thankful that it has been an ordinary day. There have been some bumps and bruises, bickering and problems to resolve, BUT, we are all still alive and the house is still standing in the midst of it all. Now, the challenge is to dig deeper and not only be thankful for the big things, but to be content and thankful in the small ordinary things, the mundane, the routines of daily living, the same days repeated over and over again.
Each ordinary day is a gift and enjoy them because they make up the passage of time!
"Embrace this gift for the day. The life of faith is lived one day at a time and it has to be lived not always looked forward to - as though the "real" living were around the next corner. It is for today we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow." Elisabeth Elliot
Thanks for posting this Kerri - so true and a good reminder for me! Plus, those boys of yours are rather adorable!! :)
