I am grateful for all the ways my Heavenly Father provides for my family and I. Listing recent blessings helps me to have a grateful heart.

*Last week, before a neighbor moved, he brought us all the items from his refrigerator, that he thought we could use. He gave us milk, butter, eggs, ketchup and many other useful foods. I marvel at the way that God provides for His children.

*For the kindness of a man who helped me, yesterday, when I took my children out to eat, for lunch. I had my hands full with the baby, and I was gathering all the trash on my tray, trying to juggle it all. A man just came up, took my tray from me, dumped it in the trash, and left. It was inspiring to see that there is still some chivalry left in this world!

* I am grateful for my husband, who works, often through many adversities. He works so hard with his full time job, side job, taking college classes, and being a great Daddy! I am so blessed to be married to Stephen!
