If only...
...I wouldn't tire of Jackson's crying before he does.
...I could wake up smiling as much as Bronwyn smiles upon waking.
...drumming--even "pillow" drumming--wasn't as loud as it is.
...food didn't = calories.
So glad...
...for chubby cheeks to kiss.
...that Daniel wakes up smiling as much as Bronwyn smiles upon waking.
...to have both bathrooms thoroughly cleaned (even the doornobs!).
...for blogs to read while I sit and nurse the baby for what feels like the 10th time today.
...my kids have a daddy who's invested in their lives.
...there are nuseries available on Sunday mornings.
...going over the grocery budget only means less $ for house projects, missions, etc. and not debt.
...so many guys have helped with our "project."
...that absolutely nothing can separate me from His love.
Voila! The "glads" definitely outweigh the "if only's."
huzzah!
ReplyDeletein preparation for rebecca's wedding, i was watching old home movies. my mum & dad took them of becka before i was born, and as i watched her stumble around and coo and walk with my mom on the beach, i thought of how cool it is that this is what made it into the permanent record--not the dirty diapers, temper tantrums, and midnight wails. praise God that grass grows back on the battlefields, and that time tends to fade the bad memories and polish the good ones! :)
I looked at what we spend on groceries and found out per person we get $2.15 a day. Wierd when you look at it that way. Makes it easier to say, "we don't have money to eat out" to the kids....but we end up doing it anyway....Now they're each making plans for thier $2.15!!! Sorry, my choice or they'd have Aldi's hot pockets and burritos for every meal! We're still getting over debt, but it's getting better.
