Anyway, the children I care for are 2 and 5 years old (both have birthdays in April). I grew up knowing the "magic words" and really try to teach J and K to say please and thank you. Those of you who are parents know that this can be an ongoing battle. All of us who were taught those magic words know that their power extends beyond getting a snack or a glass of chocolate milk, both of which are huge for J & K. They definitely extend into adulthood.
This has been a productive week in my job search, and I'm feeling more positive than I have in a long time. While driving home from a meeting tonight, I realized that I hadn't really thanked God for the positive movement I've seen this week. Much like I have to tell the kiddos on a daily basis, I felt like God was saying "What do you need to say?" It made me realize how often I forget to thank God for everything He's given me. It can be easy to pray when things are tough or when we need something. How often, though, do we remember to say those magic words to our Lord?
What are you thankful for right now? How has God moved in your life?
