As some of you know, we are in the middle of Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University course. Eli and I are loving it and we feel it has really put us on a great path and has given us some great ideas to implement. But with everything there needs to be a balance. And with all of the talk recently about money, budgets, and wealth building I have also started to see even more clearly what money CAN'T buy. So tonight while I was taking an extremely long bath I started thinking up my list. Here are a few to start with:
1.) Having all of my dishes washed, dryed AND put away -- something that doesn't always get done around here.
2.) The grin on Silas' face when he told me about the "A" he got on his test we studied for last night.
3.) The little finger-wave Savannah gave me on her way to P.E. while I was volunteering at her school.
4.) The twinkle in Prae's eyes as she took the fresh, hot cinnamon rolls we made to her Bible Study class this morning.
5.) The warmth of snuggling up to Eli while the wind is blowing so terribly outside.
6.) The little jars of apple butter on the counter.
7.) Getting to talk to my sister on the phone uninterupted.
8.) Praying with Savannah that she won't have the same nightmare as last night and seeing the peace wash over her face.
9.) Going to bed knowing my Sovereign God is watching over us, protecting us, does not sleep, and will wake me up with the strength I need to face tomorrow.
Those are the things life is made of!!
