It has been a tough couple of weeks at the Miller household. Hans and I both had a touch of the flu, then the boys got it...and then they got a lot of other stuff. Wyatt has teeth coming in, a sinus infection, and an ear infection. Grady has had this awful cough and now has a sinus infection and an ear infection too. Nights are tough and days are long.

I was just thinking though...there are so many parents out there sitting with sick kids in hospitals knowing that they will never get better or never live their life as a normal kid. WOW, am I lucky or what. God has entrusted me with two healthy boys to care for. Which leads me into the whole purpose of this post...thankfulness.

Today I had my students write I Am Thankful For... poems and they did an amazing job with them. I thought I would create my own poem as they did.

I am thankful for...
my loving Savior
my husband
my boys
my parents
my sisters and brothers
my nieces and nephews
my friends
my job
the little things in life
hugs
smiles
laughter
love
a cup of coffee
warm blankets
Mountain Dew
a good book
I am thankful.

What are you thankful for?

  1. Thankful for many of the same things as you...but not really the mountain dew....it causes crazy things to happen to my kids. :)

    I would add to the list...

    Happy to be moved before the snow hit. :)
