Things That Bring Me Joy

Benjamin sucking his thumb

Nathan dressing up like Superman

Seth reading his Bible just because he wants to

Joel practicing his handstands in the middle of the game room

Mark saying "Hello, my Love" when I answer the phone

A cool, sunny day

Seeing God's work in the simplest things of life

Nathan asking me to rub his ear

An empty laundry basket

The sound of the dishwasher running

Watching Joel tell stories

Listening to my children play together

Seeing Seth's artwork

Nathan proudly showing a lego tower

Mark arriving early from a trip

An unexpected email or phone call from a friend

My comfy brown chair

Singing

Dancing with the boys in the kitchen

A good book

A movie that makes me laugh and cry

Teaching the boys

Sloppy kisses from Benjamin

Nathan helping me cook

Splurging on Starbucks

A hot shower

Going on a date

Taking a family drive on a sunny afternoon

Getting a movie from Red Box

Finding a way to laugh when I want to scream

Mark holding my hand when we pray

Being at the bottom of a four-boy dogpile

Blogging

Endless hugs

Countless kisses

Immeasurable love
