Blessings

Folding hands to pray

Kierra loves to "fold" her hands to pray. She remembers even when Mommy sometimes forgets. Sometimes God blesses us with little blessings beyond what we can even think about. One day last month I was driving to work and saw this little play house sitting by the street with a sign on it. I couldn't read the sign but thought the house must be for sale so I turned around and went back to where it was to see how much they wanted for it. The sign read "Free." I was excited and could hardly believe I found it. I went to the door and met a very nice lady who said her youngest granddaughter was 9 now and all the boys did was jump off it so she just wanted to get rid of it. She was very nice and set it back from the road and kept it until I could get off work and find a way to get it home. I told mom that God was just giving us an extra special little blessing. When I told the lady I had 2 little girls that would love it she said, "God bless you" for taking it. Now this was not something we "needed" but the girls sure love to play in it. We also had another big blessing in January and that was that MomMom came to visit. We had a wonderful time and hated to see her leave. Thanks mom for coming. Just one funny that Brianna told me this week. One rainy morning she wanted to go to Disneyland and I said we couldn't because it was cold and raining. She proceeded to tell me all the rides we could ride in the rain because they have a "roof" over them. She forgot the part about waiting in line which does not have a roof but anyhow. She then said, "We can take our umbrella and I can drive Dumbo (the ride in the picture above) and Daddy can hold the umbrella." She is so funny and is always coming up with some song or story to tell us.
