Thank You

This post is for a both a rant and a praise report....lol. Can you do both of those at the same time? Well, I am. You know how something frustrates you so much that you just have to "say" it, or in this case-type it. And then you will feel better? Here goes. THANK YOU every slow moving vehicle in Glynn County for getting in front of me this morning. I drove 25 miles an hour behind busses, lawn equipment, trucks pulling boats, log trucks, and semis!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

....I feel better now.

The second "thank you" is a real one....lol. I am thanking God....for how He ministered to me after my post yesterday afternoon. Hannah and I went out for a walk, and were stopped by a neighbor bearing "gifts". She gave us baby food and clothes for Hannah. She has a granddaughter a little older than Hannah, so they share with us.....what a blessing! Then, we checked our mailbox, and another book had come in from the Ferst Foundation. (I know that is spelled wrong, take it up with them....lol). I know this doesn't seem like much, but reading meant a lot to me as a kid, and I want Hannah to find joy in reading as well. These books are totally free, and are sent to you for the first year of your child's life. I think that is awesome. To know that parents who really want their children to read, but can't afford to buy books, will still be able to read with their kids. Fabulous.
And then as we walked, the wind was blowing really hard, and I stopped to check on Hannah to be sure it wasn't bothering her. She looked up at me with her beautiful eyes squinted at the sun, and smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen. It was so sweet that I literally laughed out loud. Again-doesn't seem like much, but it meant the world to me. Then when we got home, my mom called and said she was buying us dinner so I wouldn't have to cook before church. "AMEN!" was all I could say to that. So, here is my thankfulness list for now. I don't know that there are ten things here, but the ones that are here were MAJOR blessings for me yesterday. Thank You, Lord for showing up just when I needed you the most.
