Sometimes, your kids just bring it ALL into perspective. I don't always feel like I'm doing a very good job of parenting, I get impatient, I feel selfish, I am overly tired, but somehow, they are resilient, and they make the most of the good I do provide. I'm thankful for that!
Today, sitting around, watching the nasty winter weather, Peyton and I were feeling stir crazy. All day long she asked if there was a rainbow, and finally, around 4pm, the sun peeked out for a minute! She asked if she could look, so I sent her to the deck to see...and there it was! A faint rainbow to the east! She was so excited! I heard her squeal and then say "Thanks god! Thanks, your the BEST God! Thanks for the Rainbow!" That sweet little comment, so innocent, but so simple and true, was just the thing to make me feel like even when I'm not doing my best, I still have WONDERFUL kids!
Her simple pleasure made me think of all the things I'm thankful for in my life right now. It was a great way to end our afternoon!
