Days 53, 52 & 51. I have chosen to live intentionally toward the goals, dreams and desires God has placed on my heart for the last 90 days of this year, pressing past fear, excuses and discomfort toward fullness of life as we countdown to 2020. Days 53, 52 & 51: gratitude.
Not much will be said here, as I am still sick with cold and flu. But as I have been ill, I am profoundly grateful to my husband and kiddos, who are amazing. My daughter offered to walk to the grocery store, buy groceries and cook dinner-so neither my husband nor I would have to worry about it. My husband took care of everything while I was quarantined in our bedroom—as he always does. My son patiently waited for us to decorate the Christmas tree until last night—something he has really wanted to do since July. Additionally, he kept dropping by with hugs and a “Are you okay, Mama?”
I am so grateful for this family of mine. It is hard to think we have only 6 more Christmases until our oldest journeys off to college and 8 Christmases before our youngest does the same. This time is truly a gift. I am deeply grateful for it.
* FYI, we don’t top our tree with a Santa head. Our children pulled the head off my son’s mini Santa, and thought it hilarious to top the tree with him. Having a mini Santa, well, that’s another story entirely!
