Celebrating Thankfulness For The Smallest Amongst Us!

Summer is about to start.

And we live in a culture where kids are often seen as a nuisance.

Just spoke with a guy yesterday: school bus comes through his neighborhood at 5:30pm.

Assuming a bedtime of 8 or so (and neglecting homework...)

That's 2-3 hours with your kids each day.

Go from that to summertime where kids are home for several months straight...

And parents start to lose their minds.

It's in pop culture. Huge money spent at summer camps. It's everywhere.

So here's what I'm proposing.

Every day this summer I am going to [post one thing about kids that I am thankful for](https://www.100daysofkids.com).

I am a dad. I (currently) have 5 girls and one boy in my house.

Oldest is 13. Youngest is 1.

I also follow Jesus.

My perspective will be biased by all of that.

Whatever your perspective: I would love for you to join me.

Kiddos can definitely grind our gears. Parenting can be hard.

But there is a LOT to be thankful for.

So that's it.

Starting the day after Mother's Day (5/13/2024).

[Going ...
... for 100 days](https://www.100daysofkids.com) until 8/20/2024.

Something to be thankful for every day.

Let's go!!

Update. We are 30 days in and I am having a blast!

Still have a HUGE backlog to get through of things I am thankful for.

And it just keeps growing!

Like my son's [lemonade stand from yesterday](https://www.100daysofkids.com/p/lemonade).

It is really cool the way that thankfulness grows on itself.

You should join me!
