I know this is going to sound weird…but I’m really thankful tonight for my messy house.

Do I love having junk all over the floor? No. Do I enjoy stepping over cords and shoes and swords and sticks (who brought those sticks into the house, by the way?)? Not really.

But we’ve had a busy weekend, full of soccer games and family time and tomato sauce canning and chicken cooking and all kinds of work that needed to be done.

I’m thankful because we are all healthy enough to work hard and play hard and make messes. I don’t want to ever take our good health or the good health of our kids for granted.

The messes will still be there tomorrow…and we can tackle them all eventually (probably starting with those sticks!). But looking at our busy-ness, which there is evidence of in every room of our house, makes me smile tonight. I’m thankful for my crazy household. I’ll take this over a spotless house any day! I truly am living my dream…
