Last night, as I sat down to write this post…I called out to the boys -
“Hey, guys…what are you thankful for?”
They all started calling things out at once…they didn’t know I was typing as they answered me!:
My family
Jesus Dying on the Cross
Our home
Our fireplace
Jesus
You (whoever said that one is my favorite kid of the night…too bad I’m not sure which one it was..)
Food
*Glasses
God’s grace (wow…this one came from the six year old.)
Electricity
Friends
*Milk
Beds
*Bubbles
Playing in the gym and field house
*These were the ones Malachi (age 3) volunteered…as he was wearing sunglasses while blowing bubbles in his milk…
And then one of them said, “Do you need more?…’Cause we can think of more!”
I’m pretty sure he really meant it…and that it wasn’t just an excuse to have an extended bedtime. 
Thanks for letting me share my kids’ simple faith and gratefulness with you.
Have a great Gratituesday!

I’m thankful for those nephews of mine who came up with such a great list and for their mama who is encouraging them and us to remember our blessings and be grateful, at least on Tuesdays!
I’m also thankful for the box of grapefruit I just bought yesterday and that most of the laundry is clean and even most of that is folded/hung up, at least for the next five minutes.
