Things that bring joy...

Today I have been blessed with joy.  
After a difficult weekend, today was full of little things that made me smile.  They may be little things...but they all added up to bring a smile to my face and joy to my hospital room.  

So here's my little list...maybe you'll smile too:

-a beautiful bouquet of spring flowers from my mom & dad...

-reading "The Roots of Endurance" and feeling my faith increase by every page...thank you Holy Spirit for teaching my heart. 

-the berry-cream cheese scone from Great Harvest that I ate for breakfast this morning. Thank you Grandma! 


-letters in the mail that have answered prayers and lifted burdens...

-Crayola markers...yes, I really like markers. 
Actually, these were a gift for my children...ummm, but mommy is borrowing them for now. 


 -the cute new slippers from my friend Erin...thanks, I love 'em

-my little red Bible...small, stylish, and full of promise after promise, applicable to every circumstance, and a lifeline to my Heavenly Father.  

-pictures of my children here on my computer...they make me excited to be back with them and bring good memories of the little blessings that they are.  
 


Smiling yet? I am. 


with a thankful heart,
Sharon
