THANK YOU GOD!

As parents and mothers its easy to have a day or week that overwhelms us and makes us wonder what have we gotten ourselves into. Its during these moments I think God helps remind us to look away from ourselves and around at the people who surround us. I have been having a week to remember full of doctors visits and parenting that seems never ending.(I know that it truly never ends) Then I woke up this morning with an overwhelming feeling of thankfulness. I woke to hear my husband cleaning the kitchen. Thank you God for sending him my way. I turned to see two healthy beautiful baby boys. One was fussy the other stretched and grinned. Thank you God that they came so healthy and perfect. Then visions of my toddlers daily routine filled my head. Every morning they wake up and TRAMP down the stairs. They peek their little heads in our room and yell SURPRISE as if we couldn't tell they were there. Thank you God for both of their unique and joyful spirits. What to say about Sam. She was the one God knew I needed, the one who made me start to grow up, and the one who keeps me one track every day. Thank you God for sending her to me when I didn't even know I needed her. Thank you God for everything you do in my life every day that I forget and sometimes ignore.

  1. Thanks for a the good cry. You put it SO WELL. It is so easy to lose the joy and focus on the work that comes with our little blessings. We really should be thanking God every MINUTE!!

    I especially love what you wrote about Sam. That was awesome. She truly is one very very special girl.

    Hugs to you!
