As I sit here in tears after reading a blog about a terminally sick baby, all I can do is think how blessed I am. I have a healthy baby boy who is snuggled up with his daddy snoozing in the recliner. How often do I take this for granted?? It's so easy to get caught up in the negative things in life (work, bills, cleaning, ect.) and to overlook the amazing gifts God has given us. I am BLESSED. I have a husband who works hard for our little family, a baby boy who bring unmeasurable joy to my life, an amazing family, great friends, a wonderful job and coworkers, a nice house and the list could go on. I say this not to sound like I'm boasting or saying things are perfect, because they aren't. I say this as a reminder to myself. On those days when I don't want to get up and when I whine because things aren't exactly how I want them to be, I need to stop and realize how good I have it. I need to be more grateful for what I have, because what I have is WONDERFUL!
Tonight- I will hug my boys a little tighter, say a prayer of thanks and also a prayer for God's grace on this family who is going through a difficult journey.
