30 Days of Thanks #23

"For all His creations of which I'm apart,
Yes, I know Heavenly Father loves me!"

I am thankful for God's creations.

One of the greatest things about being a parent, is experiencing life through your child's eyes. Ashton is constantly pointing out everyday objects and exclaiming: "Ooooh!" "Aaaah!" Every bird, every snowflake, every bug... brings him so much joy and amazement! Children teach us so much about true gratitude. Though he's only 18 months old, I'm thankful for Ashton's great example. When I saw this short video, it made me think of Ashton who is seeing everything for the first time.
