A Thankful Heart...Day 6

Thou that has given so much to me,
Give one thing more -- a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleases me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days;
But such a heart, whose pulse may be
Thy praise.
~George Herbert

In many ways, it's been a disappointing and discouraging week. Choosing, though, to be thankful despite circumstances has helped my wandering heart stay focused.

Just home from a wonderful evening with friends...which is just what my spirit needed at the end of this long and weary week. Very thankful tonight for homemade pizza and cookies, an atmosphere that reminds me of home, teammates that give generously of their time, wisdom and love, and laughing so hard at Nacho I cried.

My boys will be quoting Nacho and doing pirouettes for days. So fun!
