Counting blessings each week is a blessing in itself. I could easily revert back to remembering all of the difficulties and problems but instead I make the choice to treasure those everyday blessings. It's all a matter of what you focus on, isn't it?
Sometimes I need reminders. I get up very early in the morning to have my quiet time and to write. I really want to get my exercise in too. But I have to admit there are days when I miss out.
At our school the children have PE twice a week. It is so cute to see three year old children learning how to do jumping jacks and to skip and gallop. They have many opportunities to exercise and to simply play.

While the other children were following directions, little Will was doing his own thing. I had to laugh!

The children are also learning to exercise their minds. They learn new site words each week. A few of the words include "the", "and", etc. They get to take home little books that include these words so they can read them to their families.

#211 Little hands and feet are so precious to me, especially when they have band-aids on their boo boo's
I learn so much from little children. How often do we adults get to play? Life seems so serious. Yes, we have responsibilities but I think it's important to take some time to simply enjoy life.
My husband and I are both learning this from my work. I wrote a blog post on Saturday entitled
It's All Grace. In case you missed it, you can read it
here. I shared a bit about my journey that God has taken me on to learn many important lessons.
In the meantime, I continue to count my blessings and to link up with Ann of
A Holy Experience.
Blessings and love,
