Multitude Monday #1272 - #1304...

The endless gift of thanks continues...

a cool, windy morning that reminds me that fall is on it's way...reflections that help...a special note from him when I came home...a morning walk with a mentor...His reminders to trust that He will sustain...Grandma and Pap offering to come help for a few days...an extra set of eyes as they ride on the street...the oldest one holding my hand as we walk through the mall...milkshakes with Pap...God's faithfulness never fails...my husband's provision for our family...the vividness of the colors after a rain...Will cheering as his brothers bowled (after he decided that it wasn't scary)...that Grandma and Pap were there to help with the others when I had to take Eli out of Chick Fil A throwing a huge temper tantrum (his second within an hour)...celebrating Eli's birthday with family and friends...meeting his teacher and seeing his cubby...that God protected Will from a collision with the swing...light saber's made out of pool noodles...seeing a Great Blue Heron...appreciating His creation as I cross the bridge at the Reservoir...preparing for the storm...Mom's treat at Chuck E Cheese...their excitement to spend a day with the cousins...a shelter from the storm...watching him try, fail, keep trying and finally succeed (I have so much to learn from him)...her encouraging words...Eli's 4th birthday...that the Sunday message was on Perseverance (yes Lord, I am listening)...laughing at Joshua's "stroller turban"...that our house was spared from any major damage from the storm...that our power was restored after only a day and a half (8 years ago with Hurricane Isabelle we were out for 2 weeks)...dinner on the back patio...boys singing Happy Birthday to their brother
