My daughter likes me to cut her grilled cheese sandwiches into different shapes. Squares, triangles, and circles I can do. That is about the extent of my artistic ability. So her request for a star today was a bit of a challenge for me. I love how kids can look at something as simple as a sandwich and think of a way to make it fun.
Today I am thankful for many things, especially the simple things that I take for granted, like the ability to make my daughter a star grilled cheese sandwich. It may not sound like a lot to be thankful for but if I break it down, the ability to make a star grilled cheese sandwich fills me with gratitude and amazement for all of the gifts God has given to me including:
- the money to buy cheese, bread and butter
- a house with a working stove on which to cook the sandwich
- the coordination to use a spatula to flip the sandwich and to use a knife to cut it into a specific shape
- the vision to see the smile on my daughter’s face as she ate the star-shaped grilled cheese
Awesome gratitude! Wonderful sober mom your daughter has! Star shaped grilled cheese sandwiches, how lovely.
