Today was a better day for me and my family. We actually spent the day together. We went apple picking, a New England tradition that my family loves! It was so much fun to watch the kids with their daddy. The children were really excited about going to the orchard. We were outside enjoying the beautiful day and the foliage all while making memories as a family. It was such a great day!

I learned a couple of lessons as a wife and mother today. I need to be thankful for my blessings. I have two amazing children and a husband who loves me more than I can ever imagine. We have been blessed with the means to do fun things as a family such as go apple picking. I also learned that I need to take a step back and watch my husband in action with our children. He is a fantastic father, and he has great instincts. I would never know that if I didn’t watch him with the children. Today I was able to reflect on these lessons as I enjoyed being with my family.

Thank you, Lord, for such a wonderful day with my family! Help me to see the blessings in the everyday things. I want to be thankful for Your provision and Your love.
