A little joy today
Good morning, your seat is waiting.
Sometimes the best parts of the day aren’t the big events.
They’re the five minutes before everyone heads in different directions. The unexpected laugh. The family story you’ve heard a hundred times but still makes everyone smile.
Let’s make space for a few more moments like that today.
This table is built around exactly that. The simple things that create the moments worth remembering.

HAPPY THANKFUL THURSDAY
This week, I’m grateful for…
1. Fake birthdays. We did a long car ride on my birthday, so I picked a different day to celebrate. Telling my kids “be nice to me on my fake birthday” made me giggle.
2. My bed. There’s nothing like sinking into your own bed after being away for a while.
3. Air conditioning. Because it’s HOT in Kansas City. And it would sure stink without it!
What are you grateful for on this Thankful Thursday? Hit reply and share. You’ll love how it makes you feel!
CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK
Have a Family Night and soak in summer.
