thankful

My friend Faith does a weekly post of what she's thankful for and I am in a very thankful mood so all praise belongs to the LORD. Hence this post.

• answered prayer...the LORD has made the recovery from this latest blow up with my Mum so much more smoother...so it's getting easier. We have had a good week together.
• family...spent today at the National Park at Wattamola beach which was wonderful. My man and son are both sick so they missed out. I would have stayed home but I organised the day and was taking all the food for the picnic so had to go. It wasn't the same but my nieces and nephews were so entertaining that I just loved being in the company.
• beautiful days which end in rain and thunderstorms. I love the sea and thunderstorms and had both today. God is awesome.
• playing lifeguard floating in the water behind the kids screaming out 'wave!' so they would all jump on their boogy boards and try to ride the wave in. Then walking from seaside to riverside to watch the kids scramble on to rocks, and scream out 'aunty tali look at me' or 'help aunty tali' when they started to slip.
• coming home to my own child. Hugging and kissing him as much as possible without annoying him :)
• for a hubby to do with life with.
• for all those holidays and day trips with my own parents where all i had to do was get up, get myself ready and jump in the car...meanwhile my parents were up early preparing food and everything else we would need for the day. I always knew I was lucky but being an aunty and mum has given me a new appreciation of this...I'm the one now preparing food and everything else!
