Nickerson Family

I was reading in my devotional today about God's abundance. Psalm 4:7: "I have God's more-than-enough, more joy in one ordinary day than they get in all their shopping sprees". Even before I read this I was feeling so thankful (counting my blessings-lol:). I've been able to help the neighbor each morning with wound care and am thankful I'm able to help the family. I am thankful I made it through grocery shopping and now have fully stocked cupboards. I am thankful for a napping baby! This reminds me of something funny Logan said yesterday. Yesterday we went to the Pike Fair and the kids wanted to ride the rides. It was the day before payday and we did not have a lot of extra money. Just one ride for Logan and Grace cost $8, plus they wanted fair food which is around $5 depending on what you get. So I told Logan that they could ride on 1 ride and get 1 treat and no more because we don't have a lot of money just before payday. We had a fun time and they did fine with only 1 ride and 1 treat. When we were tucking the kids in later that night Logan was upset (mostly from being overtired) about his first loose tooth. He started to cry and I tried to be positive about loosing his first tooth telling him that the tooth fairy will come and give him money. Logan thought about this and then asked me, "Will the tooth fairy come even though we're poor?" I assured him that the tooth fairy would come and we were not that poor, although we're not rich either. It's so hard not to laugh at some of the things my children come up with. Logan has been stopping me in my tracks with some things he says. Recently I asked him how he was doing and he said "marvelous". He thinks so deeply about things.
