TEN THINGS TUESDAY

XBOX Wife Ten Things Tuesday

  1. This morning I am tired!! "You're thankful about that," you ask? Yes! I'm tired because I got home late and got in bed late because we had an awesome Children's Ministry Committee meeting at our church last night.
  2. This means that our church is growing ~ a 40% increase in children in over the last 5 years!
  3. Some of my closest friends serve on the same committee, and it's such a blessing to be doing this together.
  4. I am thrilled about a specific task of which I'll be organizing...kids for missions!
  5. As I look outside, the thunderstorms rolling in are evident. I love thunderstorms!
  6. I have things to occupy my time all day long today, reminding me that I have a sweet family of whom to take care. Washing their dirty laundry is just one of the ways I can let them know how much I love them! :)
  7. There is laundry to do! "WHAT?" You ask this question with force and in an "are-you-crazy" voice. Yes, I am thankful for that laundry! It means that we have enough clothing to get us through more than a day or two. I'll admit...this is one that I have to find reasons to be thankful.
  8. I have a sticker right smack dab in the bottom center of my foot! I KNOW...it HURTS! But it also reminds me that my toes are not tingling today. Maybe I'll share the rest of that story on another day.
  9. In an hour or so, I get to spend some quality time with one of my greatest friends Lurch-Lady! :)
  10. I am so thankful for all of you that are reading this! Ten years ago, I would have never imagined all the possibilities that the world wide web has allowed!
What are YOU thankful for today?

Look for more information about a Ten Things Tuesday blogroll soon! It will be here before you know it!

That's awesome about the children's ministry growth of your church. What a calling to work with the wee-ones. When I see the little ones at school, I am constantly reminded of birth control in the human form of kindergarteners...lol!! God makes us all with Him in mind, however different levels of patience....hence I teach 5th graders. They lose less teeth=)

Years ago, I was a Children's Pastor. That is incredible growth-looks like your doing the right things!

Shana said...

I am so excited about the Children's Ministry at your church! I am also on our Children's Ministry and it was so great to read your "thanful" post about it. Sometimes I get frustrated with finding teachers, the right curriculum, etc, and it is so nice to hear your being upbeat. Between you and Jen- you give me hope!

On another note, I got your post about the "tipping" post that you had. I am certainly going to have to check that out. Looks like I have lots of reading and catching up on your blog.

I absolutely love your list today. You have a way of making the simple things into the greatest things -- and I really dig that and admire it! :) I hope that you share the sticker story sometime too -- especially since I have had tingling in my toes too and wonder if you and I have endured the same thing...

Have a great day. :)

Rosheeda said...
