Gracias a Dios

I just really never want to forget these things.
The little things.
Like walking home from church with friends
and waving goodbye as we part ways towards home.
It's just so good.

I am so grateful for the little things.


Thank you God for my spiral staircase
and soft calming light

[my bedroom window: middle left]


for feet that don't touch the ground
and books to fill our classroom


for walks that end in a downpour
and amigas to laugh with


I'm grateful for the craziness of losing teeth
and the oh-so-many emotions of Cresly


for dear friends who know me better than I know myself
and continually speak truth into my life


Thank you Lord for English sermons available 
to this still-struggling Spanish student
and new shoes 


for thoughtful sponsors of my students
and hearts to remind me of my mama's love


for a much needed escape day in the capital
and ikea wandering


Gracias a Dios for quiet movie nights,
nail polish, and apple smelling candles


for the chance to explore baseball
with 5 year olds
in the Dominican Republic
for my job

[not as easy as it might sound
but still very fun!]



and for my [clearly] fabulous job of coaching my kids on form

[I'm STILL laughing over these pictures
I wish I could show you all of them]


Gratitude really does change everything.
Gracias a Dios.

What little things are you grateful for?
