Thankful Thursday

Posted in Family

This week’s Thankful Thursday post will be brief — not because I lack things to be thankful for, but because of one of the things that I am thankful for. I am thankful for my very precious daughter. This week has had its ups and downs, but we really have had a good week overall. The Lord has blessed me with a child that has a huge heart.

Munchkin is now keeping a verse journal. She’s writing down the verses that stick out as special for us as we go through our lessons. I’m thankful that I was able to pick up the Prairie Primer very inexpensively. It’s been wonderful to watch Munchkin light up and really look forward to the daily readings and lessons. I’m thankful for the caring spirit of my daughter. She’s been…
