I Am Thrilled....

• that my children are so into the Easter story again this year. The Resurrection eggs are a huge hit!
• that we got to hold and enjoy our 40 new, baby chicks. I know they'll soon be ugly and in 8 weeks we'll butcher them, but for now, we'll enjoy their cute, fluffiness.
• that my girls chose fresh strawberries over Peeps at the grocery store.
• that the old apple tree is no more and that my hard-working husband planted our 4 new fruit trees-2 apple, 2 cherry.
• that SPRING is here!
• that garage sale season is just around the corner.
• that one Easter dress is finished and the other one won't take long.
• that my son is actually catching on to adjectives in his Language book.
• that school is winding down for the year.
• that I get to go see my big sister and her family next week.
• that we finally bought a real piano.
• that my boys got to enjoy choir and that they did so well on their final program.
• that although my house is dirty, my heart is clean, and my cup is full.
• to put away the snow clothes for another year.
• that my raspberries are finally trimmed.
• that Jesus paid the Ultimate price for my sin.
• that I am finally understanding GRACE a little bit better.
• to celebrate Easter.

And there's another one of my 'happy lists'. I am kind of a 'list-y' person. It helps me organize my brain. ;) A real mix of spiritual and practical, that's me. I hope you can find lots of things that thrill you as well. Life is entirely too short to get stuck on 'empty' or 'ungrateful' for very long. As we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus, lets allow Him to fill our hearts with His love and joy.
