Blessings 308-330

308. Since pledging to listen to only Christian music for a time, I have been so blessed. It seems that all the songs I hear are about forgiveness or God never leaving me or trusting in Him. I have fallen in love with 91.3!


309. Case in point: "Losing" by Tenth Avenue North. Love it. Listen to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX0cmUj4hvw


310. And not to forget TobyMac "Forgiveness." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfkhqpl81NA


311. Claudia helped Jake write out ALL of his Valentines for his class. He wrote them - she helped him with all the names.


312. Seeing my kids so excited about little messages of love delivered via Star Wars, the Avengers, and the Brave princess.


313. Moms who helped plan the Valentine's Day parties in my kids' Thursday School classes.


314. Moms who sent treats with their kids to pass out.


315. Claudia playing "Climb Every Mountain" on the piano.


316. Seeing Sam lost in a game of make-believe with his favorite toys of the moment -- 2 AutoBots/Transformers.


317. Lots of prayers from people as Ed and I get ready to go away for the weekend together.


318. Forever friends.


319. Mom came to North Muskegon to get kids after Thursday school today. Ed got home early from work, so he was able to bring them to her while I finished packing us up.


320. not having to deal with Screaming Sam for a few days.


321. Wise and encouraging parents who really love Ed even when...well...


322. As I head off to this weekend, I'm not too excited, but I am remembering the lesson I taught my Sunday School kids this week. We are trying to live like Jesus during Lent, and the challenge this week is to LOVE those who are hard to love.


323. Ed and I drove up to Traverse City this evening. We talked the ENTIRE way. A really good conversation led by a book I had brought along.


324. The two chapters we picked in the book were so very applicable and important for us to read and talk about.


325. FUN dinner out with Ed. Wings and beer. And yes, this was my choice.


326. Ed saying that since YESTERDAY, now he thinks we're going to be OK.


327. I've gotten (a tiny bit) used to these maddening and sudden turns of events in Ed's stubborn head. :)


328. I still love him.


329. Our hotel sells Ben and Jerry's.


330. Got to watch a favorite TV show in bed with aforementioned ice cream.
