Gratitude

For the past two days we've been helping watch the children of a family we are acquainted with, and I am so grateful for the children I have. Kjersten is by no means perfect, and she is still young, but she is fairly obedient and doesn't argue or challenge me (yet). I'm also grateful that I don't have to cart multiple children to their varying schools and activities, though I'm sure that day will come too. I'm grateful that Jonas doesn't have to travel for work or school. And I'm grateful for Easter, to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior and know that we will live again too. And I'm grateful for magnolia trees. They are so beautiful!
