365 Things.
The hardest part of this project is sorting through the daily endowment of blessings to find the one that inspired me most. Although I don't write daily, the gift I do highlight is a compilation of 365 different blessings not necessarily in any order. All the blessings are good gifts and remind me of my greatest blessing, His grace and compassion, His love.

3. Two Ears and One Mouth
Today I'm most grateful for my ears. Initially I wanted to write about being thankful for music, but suddenly realized I get to acknowledge my ears first. I am blessed with 2 ears and 1 mouth for good reason. Have you ever just kept quiet and listened to the music around you?
The movie "Autumn Rush" is about a prodigy who has the ability to hear music in every noise. Sometimes I want that gift, especially when my children are at odds or it's 10pm and the house isn't still.
But most importantly, I'm grateful I can hear Travis say, "I'm thirsty about water" or Matthew's infectious laughter (Tom recorded this for me for mother's day because I love it so much) or Makayla express her opinion about mothering, fashion or most recently boys. Oh, and how can I forget the romantic prose Tom recites to me, my favorite being, "Thanks for choosing me for this life experience." No, thank you.
