Multitude Monday



I knew it would happen.....


I proclaimed rejoicing.....


.....and things happened.....


.....and I didn't always want to rejoice.....


.....and I didn't always rejoice.....


.....but I will now count them as blessings and rejoice!


695. Defiant children
696. Tripping over muddy boots
697. Crumbs everywhere
698. Crayons everywhere
699. Unexpected bills in the mail

701. Teaching moments
702. Husband home for lunch
703. Full pantry and fridge
704. Creative children

  5. I’m here from Ann’s. Sorry so late but it takes a long time to get through all of these gratitude lists. And…

    it is wisdom to know that in severity is beauty – you clearly have wisdom.

    My faves:
    695. Defiant children (strength to be harnessed)
    704. Creative children (see above) (◠‿◠)

    This was a really good thing to read today

    God Bless and Keep You and all of yours
