Sometimes it's good to pay attention to the little (and not-so-little) reminders of how truly blessed you are with your life. It's so easy to get bogged down in all the negativity.
Little reminders I've had lately:
::Several weeks ago, on my way to an appointment I drove by what I can best describe as row houses. They are so tiny, and look like they might fall over in a strong wind. They would fit inside the living/dining room/kitchen of our home. And I'm pretty sure there are two "living spaces" in each of those buildings! And no air conditioning.
::A co-worker is going through chemo right now to fight off cancer AND her mother is in a hospital a few hours away fighting cancer. My co-worker got a call this morning that she needed to go be with her mom...keep them in your prayers.
::I hear people talk about their unhappy marriages and other related problems and feel so thankful that Kenneth and I have a solid marriage.
::I learn about others losing their children to birth defects and am reminded how blessed we are that Ashleigh is healthy.
::When I watch Ashleigh sleeping (or playing) I'm so overwhelmed with love. I thank God every day that he allowed me to become a mother.
::Seeing Kenneth and Ashleigh together remind me how blessed I am to have married a man who is a wonderful Daddy.
Have you had any little reminders of how blessed you are?
