Last Sunday I gave a "homework assignment." I asked NCCers to keep a gratitude journal as a way of putting last week's big idea into practice. FYI--the big idea was your focus determines your reality.
I have to say that this has been a joyful week because I'm totally focused on the things I'm grateful for. I'm grateful for perfect weather days. I'm grateful for loyal friends (I would name names but you know who you are). I'm grateful for God-given opportunities. I could go on and on. I'm been grateful for the things I generally take for granted.
So here is today's gratitude blog. I'm grateful for all of Josiah's cute sayings. He's at that three year-old stage where he says something unpredictable everyday.
Here's a sampling from the last seven days:
"Mom, can you get me some flamin' hot cheetoes someday." Maybe you had to be there, but it was awfully cute coming out of his mouth.
I was going to study last Saturday night and, out of nowhere, Josiah said, "Are you going to study at the Capitol." Huh? I didn't even know he knew what the Capitol was. I guess he thinks that's my office. I laughed about that all night.
One day this week he informed us that God has "superhero powers." That's good to know!
We were at the National Arboretum on my day off and Josiah was running down a hill. He totally wiped out and said, "I ice skated." I have no idea where that came from. But that was a pretty good description of what it looked like.
I'm always saying, "That was worth a million bucks" when we my kids say or do something cute. In that sense, I'm wealthy beyond measure!
