day 71, Thursday

On this seventy-first day of being intentionally grateful, I wondered why I even bothered with putting on make-up for my mom's group.  Thursdays are our homeschool group days, and I cannot express how thankful I am for these amazing ladies. 

I don't know everyone yet because there's a bunch of us, but the kindred-ship I feel with these ladies is almost too much to try and put into words. 

I love it when we pray...there is something so powerful about praying with moms of different denominations and races and cultures, even.  I get goose bumps, and I usually cry.  Our sweet Bible study teacher, Denise is another one I love...when she cries, I cry.  And I love her heart for God and His word. 

I love these women and am so blessed by their strength and encouragement.  I feel refreshed every Thursday when I leave and always look forward to the next week.  If you ever get the chance to participate in a small-group style Bible study, do it.  You will be blessed, I assure you. 

Love to all.
