Thankful Thursday----The ONE THING I am MOST thankful for this week.......

   Are you starting to sense a theme rising from my posts lately? I decided that just like at home, if I have a "theme" for different days of the week it is much easier for me to be organized and come up with what to write where! So hang in there for the rest of the week, because I have some great posts coming up!
   After this post each Thursday will be a day for me to remember for myself, and to show others, what I am most thankful for that week. Remembering how blessed I am, every day, is important to me, especially during hard times around the Welcoming House, because it gets my focus into the right place: that I am blessed beyond measure, and the things that I think are "tough" look like little bumps in the whole scheme of things.
  It HAS been a week around here with hot weather, which causes crazy children to be stuck indoors, a Handy Hubby who fell down the stairs and almost broke his ankle (and then tripped on a rug yesterday and re-injured himself), my Big Kid who has had unexplained breakouts of hives since Sunday afternoon.......and many more than I am choosing to just ignore and move on.

   So what am I MOST thankful for this week?

   Couple of hints, dear reader.

   It is blue.

   And relatively small.

   It cost us around $10 a couple years ago, and has WAYYYYYY more than paid for itself in that time.

Are you ready?

Here it is.

Yep.

A kiddie pool.

Why is it the thing I am most thankful for this week? 

Well, here:

you can see my Big Kid is looking a little nervous in the background...

and this would be why...

Two Littles against one Big....yeah. The Littles win every time...

but see, that little blue kiddie pool causes this....

and this...

and even this...........from the one who rarely gives me a smile like this...

BUT BEST OF ALL IT CAUSES THIS.... GOOD NIGHT!!!

Many Blessings to you and yours,

Heather
