God is so good. He graciously gifts me with little graces every day that remind me of His infinite Mercy and His lavish love. I am so thankful for each minute of life that He gives me. I am so thankful for the amazing family that He has blessed me with. I have a husband, children and grandchildren that totally fill me... they complete me in Him. He is good.

Mercie fills me with JOY. Just lookin' at this precious face with her adorable ponytails and sunglasses is enough to just do me in! This little girl loves her Nana and for that I am so blessed. The other night as we snuggled in bed she was laying with her face right in front of mine and she said, "Nana, we are bes' f 'iends" - oh, what joy....
I love how she is crazy about her cousin, Bryton. They are 12 months apart and have always had a special bond.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bryton fills my heart with JOY. He is such a precious little boy and he LOVES God so much! We were in the car the other day and he said, "Nana, I dreamed about God last night. I just love it when He hugs me. I love God very much!". I thought his mama was gonna cry at the sweetness of that moment! (and Nana, too!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am filled with joy at the thought that these 2 little boys are going to have a precious baby sister to love!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am thankful for the joy that I receive when I see my 3 oldest grandchildren in their weeball/t-ball/softball uniforms. Nothing cuter than that!

I love watching Eli play t-ball and get filled with joy each time he hits the ball from a pitch and doesn't have to use the tee. He gives a big thumbs up each time! He loves being on the pitcher's mound and as you can see, he keeps it clean.. makes his Nana proud - ha!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My youngest grandchild, Silas, is such a bundle of joy! He has an infectious smile and a laugh that will fill you up! He is taking his first steps and I love to see him begin to explore the world. Here he is, watching his brother and sister play ball!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am filled with joy when I see my oldest granddaughter, Mikaela, becoming such a gracious young girl filled with the love of God. Where did the past 8 years go??
I was filled with joy as I watched the excitement on Mikaela's face as she called her daddy (who is off working on a pipeline) and told him that she scored her teams first run!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am thankful that Mercie is feeling better after being sick last weekend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I receive much joy from the smile of this precious grandson. Eli is missing a few teeth, but his face lights up when he smiles!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am still so thankful that I can continue to fill up my '1000 gifts' journal with blessings each day.
I am on #256 - "that we can walk in the Spirit". Thank you, Lord for that...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am thankful for my 3 girls. Megan and Melissa just celebrated their 26th and 25th birthdays within 24 hours of each other. I am so blessed with daughters who love me and their daddy and who love the Lord.
