Thankful Project Day 17

Thankful God has provided some awesome times for our family to be together.

Thankful He provides many teaching moments. A few have asked about school and I think I laugh inside. She has learned more in here than most adults will ever learn. She could train some of her nurses and does give them "helpful hints" on occasion. Her little duck tape business has given her real-life math problems and retail sales skills they don't teach in school. She's already made $75!!!!

Thankful for friends who've sent her tons of duck tape and I mean tons! (Pics tomorrow!). She's also gotten beautiful handmade gifts and gifts to inspire her creative talents.

Thankful for those ordering from her. You're giving her hands something to work at instead of dwelling on what is not in her hands.

Thankful she has amazing patience but knows how to deal with the times when she's not feeling patient. (She hasn't eaten anything for 18 days...and it will be longer. Don't ask. Because I don't know.)

Thankful for a clean, warm-out-of-the-dryer blanket. Ahhhh

Thankful for my parents who are so good to us.

Thankful for my husband and his hard work, bringing kids up to see us so we can have a little time together.

Thankful for Luke and how sweet he is to Moriah. He can make Grace laugh like no one else can. He's just a great kid.

Thankful for my baby. It's hard to be 5 and have to say goodbye to mommy (and sis) so much.

Thankful for this life and how many ways God shows His great love.
