Love Challenge

Rules of this challenge:

1. There is no limit to how long the list is.
2. Be completely honest. Do not regard how others would think when making your list.
3. Don't list the obvious things that we all love. (Spouse, kids, Lord, church, freedom, etc.)

THINGS CINDEE LOVES:

1. Getting comments on my blog posts! (I need to be better about GIVING comments.)
2. The first couple sips of a vanilla cinnamon dolce.
3. Buying something dirt cheap from Goodwill that is useful to me.
4. The joy that comes from being right with the Lord and brothers & sisters in Christ.
5. When Josh and I work well together as a team.
6. When my husband grabs my hand and leads me to the altar to pray.
7. When Myah says "Pay My My" when I go to kiss her at night. (translated: "Pray with Myah."
8. When Macy gives me big slobbery kisses.
9. Sitting in my newly decorated front room and enjoying my new "french country" look.
10. Browsing in antique shops.
11. Blueberries
12. Blackberries
13. Congregational singing.
14. When I wake up in the morning, walk downstairs, and see my husband reading his Bible or praying.
15. Couples retreat, ladies retreat, and family camp
16. Fellowshipping after church.
17. Gleaning from ladies who sharpen and challenge me as a wife and mother.
18. Opening my home for food, fellowship, and fun!
19. Coming home after church and putting on comfy cozy clothes.
20. Helping with the teens at WBC.
21. Cooking for my family
22. FALL!
23. Looking at a magazine. Some of my favorites are Better Homes and Gardens, Family Fun, Country Home, Cottage Living...
24. When my kids scratch my back with their tiny little hands.
25. When Josh plays with my hair
26. Running my fingers through my kids hair
27. Nursing my baby
28. When Macy stops nursing and stares at me then after about 30 seconds gives me a big happy grin and continues to nurse.
29. The immediate joy and relief after giving birth
30. Knowing I did my best at the end of a day.
31. When my kids are in bed and it's "me" time. (Being honest.)
32. Getting a new outfit.
33. Feeling pretty. (this has a lot to do with the small things...hair fixed, makeup on, toenails painted...for me anyway.)
34. Cooking something new and YUMMY!
35. Anything chocolate with a glass of milk.

I will end it here although I could go on and on. You take the challenge. It was fun, thought provoking, and a little eye opening.
