Yesterday I was thankful for the BEAUTIFUL weather. It was so great to be able to get Giovanni outside and let him run around. That kid has way too much energy and even though he is always escaping from the backyard, I'm glad that warmer weather is on the way so I can get him out and let him expell some of the energy. He's such a crazy little monkey!
Today I am thanful for the miracle that is Easter. Not only was it so much fun watching the boys search for eggs this morning, but I loved seeing all three kids in their cute little outfits. Donovan was so proud of their "fancy" clothes. He actually picked out his and Giovanni's new outfits a few weeks ago, and Adelin was so adorable in her very first Easter dress. I'm glad that Mom came down to go to Easter service at church with us. And, above and beyond it all, I am so grateful that God sent his only son to be the ultimate sacrifice for me. Jesus put himself in my place, and took all my sins onto himself. He suffered and died for me and conquered death so that some day I can be with him in Heaven. He taught me how to forgive by forgiving me. I am grateful that he gave me the ability to go beyond the pain and hurt that may come into my life and to rest in the peace that he can turn any heartache into good. Thank you Lord, so much for every single blessing you have brought into my life. Thank you for sacrificing yourself for me, and for forgiving all my sins. Thank you for the promise of eternal life. Help me to continue to be grateful and to live a life that makes you proud.
