Our lives are so filled with blessing and it is important to me that my children remember that even in sad times we are blessed by a God who loves us. Today was a bit of a hard day though. Our beautiful kitty Daisy May had to be put down after they discovered she had a mass in her esophagus. This paired with the funeral for an amazing lady who ended her life long before The Lord was done working good through her made for a challenge. Again, while my heart is hurting I remind myself of how blessed I am to have all the amazing blessings I am surrounded with. I am reminded that life is not a guarantee but a gift and it can end at any time. I pray that if my life were to end in the near future that those around me would celebrate the time that I was blessed to share with them in this world. My girls are happy and healthy and growing. This is a gift some parents never have. I have a loving husband. I am surrounded by an amazing, supportive family. I have things that many people only dream about and not because I deserve any of it.
I need to post more often about the good things that are happening in this growing an changing house. I am so thankful for those "ordinary" days that so quickly pass by. My babies are growing an our loves are changing. I looking deeper at teenagers these days an try to envision the baby, toddler and preschooler they once were. I marvel at my girls innocence and wonder when the time will come that little things they now believe so fully will slip away. When I get angry and short I worry about what impact that will one day have. I want to love them so much every minute because I am keenly aware that I will never have that precious minute back. I am growing and changing right along with them. Thank-you Lord for the blessing of an ordinary, extraordinary live.
