When life's a whirl, sometimes I just need to stop and take a moment to count my blessings. Little as they may seem, they far out-weigh the difficulties in the long run.

Moments when African culture plays a huge role in babysitting. Struck out on the blankie, songs, rocking part. But flip the kid on you back and he's out like a flash.

Brothers who know how to make me laugh.

God always providing for our needs. Last month, friends gave us Wildebeest. This month, the neighbors supplied us with fresh pork. What does next month hold?!? (Dad says, "Roadkill." That I sincerely hope not!)
I need this reminder constantly! It's so easy to automatically blow the difficulties out of proportion, but you're so right - the blessings always outweigh the difficulties.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the different ways God provides for His children! Thanks for sharing, Juli.

ReplyDeleteand I know what you mean about the babysitting, I have put alot of Mozambican babies to sleep on my back, but it DOES NOT work with American kids, I have tried it soo many times and the kids just scream...
