Grace in Small Things: Day 270 of 2009

1. My body finally accepting the kick out of bed at 6am.

2. The luxurious hour and a half of morning alone time before the boys arise and the chaos of the day begins.

3. The invention of the french press and espresso-roast beans, that make 6am much more manageable.

4. Starting preschool at home with the boys this year and actually loving it, despite what I thought. Structured time is SO good for us three!

5. Reminiscing with Matthew about this same time last year and seeing just how much we have both changed and how faithful God is to lead us through the miserable fire to burn up all the crap in our lives. Motherhood and wifehood are slowly taking on a different meaning, instead of seemingly warring against me. This is GOOD NEWS, people!

Wage a battle against embitterment and take part in 365 days of Grace in Small Things
