I Woke Up Thankful

My house is an absolute mess.

But I'm thankful that we have a house to make messy. And I'm thankful for the mess, because it means that we had such a busy and fun weekend that we did not have time to clean.

Our new church is hosting homeless families this week. Two families have newborn babies; one is 1 week old, the other is 2 days old.

Can you imagine being homeless with a newborn baby? In the dead of winter?

Yes, this morning I woke up after a sleepless night. I woke up with pain in my back and hips, with a case of the Monday blues. I woke up to a messy house.

But I woke up in a nice, warm bed. With my youngest sleeping snuggly beside me.

I woke up thankful.
