It's the little things

I have been racking my brain for the past week to come up with some witty things to write about. After my brain told me to stop, I came to realize my life is really in the little things right now. For example, just last week I had an entire, though short, transaction totally in Bulgarian.  This small thing put me on cloud nine for the week.  Eli would poop in his pants and I would think, "that's okay.  If I can converse in Bulgarian, I can handle a little poo."  Sounds crazy I know, but I praise the Lord for this small victory.  Back to Eli's potty training, he has actaully been doing very good.  He has had many days of no accidents, and today he actually informed us when he needed to use the restroom.  Tomorrow I am going to let him wear just underwear without the plastic coverings.  He is officially a big boy.  Hmmmm...this means it is time for another baby :)   No, I'm not pregnant, just saying. 
      Another example of the little things in life, I have mastered my way around our little area of town. I know what buses/trams/trambuses will take me where. I give all praise to the Master for this feat.   I went shopping with Audrey close to downtown and we had a blast.  I praise God for the wonderful daughter He gave us.  On our way home, we did get on one wrong bus, but that was not our fault.  The side of the bus had our number, but apparently it wasn't on the front, thus it was the wrong bus.  No problem, we got off at the next stop and just walked a little ways to the correct stop.  Plus, along the way we found another great underground shopping area with a National Geographic store.  This is great news because my children are fascinated with  the Nat.Geo.Wild channel.  They would rather watch it than Disney channel or most anyhting else.  Hey, what can I say, we are raising our kids to be nerds just like us :)    But again, I praise the Father for kids who love to learn about His creation.
        So, while this blog isn't extrememly awe inspiring, I hope it has maybe made you stop and think to praise God for the little things in life.
