Blessing Wednesday

So summer is over and school has begun! I had an amazingly awesome time with the family these last two weeks and grabbed every last bit of fun I could steal from summer. I gotta admit, fall is my favorite time of year by far, but this year, summer ran an even race:)

But vacation is over, today is Wednesday, and it's time to count some blessings--so let's go!

This doesn't even begin to touch our pile of books. I have

a 2nd grader, 5th grader, and 7th grader this year. Pray

for me:)

~A great start to our school year yesterday. Blessed to see smiles on my kids' faces as we hauled all the schoolbooks out. (okay. maybe not full smiles. but no frowns...so I'm taking it.) This is year seven of homeschooling for us!

~Coffee. It's been a bit since I listed this one, and with my mornings shifting back to early ones, I am beyond blessed again that God created this little bean for us.

~Our media department at church. When I'm not able to be there, I can still catch the sermon. I love my church!

~Christian Fiction. I am crazy about books...reading, writing, holding, sniffing, (I read e-books too but still love to hold that paper in my hands!)...I lose myself in stories and am beyond blessed to have an industry that gives me an outlet for this passion.

~And most of all, my Mama...who just happens to be celebrating a birthday today. She's ** years young :) Happy Birthday Mom-I LOVE YOU!!

Mom, my girls, and I at The Glass
Slipper in Destin, FL.

I hope you all had a blessed Holiday and are getting back into the swing of fall. Bring on sweatshirts, pumpkin donuts, and football!! Until then, what are you thankful for today??
