National Coffee Day

I'm not back on caffeine because I'm still breastfeeding, but I like my coffee for the taste. I like it black. Oh yes. I also enjoy a good latte or mocha or other flavored fun treat, but in the morning...black.

In honor of National Coffee Day, enjoy yourself a cup of joe and if at all possible go fair trade. There are so many options out there and it's another way to do our tiny parts that will add up to something big.

Ways to give and get your coffee too!

Gratefulness

Let us not lost heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. Galatians 6:9

As things have just been more challenging on the mom front lately I have been clinging to this verse. I have been reminded that I am not perfect. Sometimes I forget that. I never actually think or say that I am, but I forget that I'm not.

I also keep neglecting this blog. But does anyone read it? I know, I know, that's not the point, but dad gummet I'm feeling needy so comment already! Yes, I'm whining. But to compensate for the neediness and whining I'm going to start my expression of gratefulness. Though I only have time for a few, need to get on dinner. To find out more about it click HERE. (thanks Deanna for introducing me to this.)

1. My God

2. That He keeps His promise and has held onto me at all times, especially when I have days/weeks as of late.

3. My husband...for the same reasons.

4. My children for learning along with me.

5. That my fourth child is the easiest baby in the world.

6. The BEAutiful weather

7. Friends who call at the right time.

8. Blue skies.
