The Simple Things in Life

Two married kids!

Getting Dum dum lollipops when we go to the bank to deposit a check…

Just going out for a drive together…

Scrounging for an after-church snack when we already ran out of snack food…and inventing our own, which was actually very tasty!

A cool breezes blowing in the window when you don’t expect it…

A phone call from a friend, and all the “catching up”…

The ability and opportunity to work, and the good feeling you get after putting several good hours in…

Remembering phrases Mom used to say like, “If the job’s worth doing, what?”  (We meekly and solemnly answer) “It’s worth doing right.”  And, “If we had macaroni, we’d have Macaroni ‘n’ Cheese, if we had cheese!”

Reading God’s Word, and knowing it is powerful, and has all my answers (Wow!)…

Seeing the words, MOM and (upside down) WOW!

Taking walks with my husband (minus the five ticks from the most recent walk!)…

Hearing the doorbell whenever someone walks in pizza shop next door…

I am so thankful for the simple things in life.  God is so good to us!

I Thessalonians 5:18  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

…And so I thank God even for the ticks!

  1. Loved, loved, loved this post! Every item made me smile. 🙂 Just curious how you convinced the teller to give you suckers. Mine only offers them when kids are in my car.

    1. We usually go inside as opposed to the drive-thru.  They have a cup of Dum-dums on the counter, and Dustin always gets one for me and him!
