Thankful Thursday

The week passed too quickly.  I trade my time – from caring for Little One and Darling daughter back to the daily routine.  I try to focus and settle back into this house full of rowdy boys and one girl.  Planbooks are pulled out and tests are being graded.  Students put their heads back into books.

I consider and treasure the times for it is a time to remember to put things into perspective.  To remember those things that come first.  To give thanks to the one who is First, and Last.

First born over all creation – Jesus
