Blessings...never take them for granted.

While reading a friend's blog the other day I came across this blog and after I read a little on that one, I stumbled onto this one. It's always hard to come in on the middle of a story, but if you have the time, I would encourage you to read some of the older posts on both of these blogs and just think of how blessed you really are. As I sat here this morning and read about the struggles they went through (and continue to go through), I had tears streaming down my face. How is it possible that I have had 2 very easy pregnancies, 2 healthy babies and yet, I somehow forget that healthy pregnancies and healthy babies are a blessing from the Lord? We are so blessed and too often I find myself getting wrapped up in the minor issues that come with having children (spills, tantrums, messy diapers, etc.) instead of hugging my children reguarly (I do a lot of this too, but I'm trying to make a point here) and thanking the Lord for every precious second I have with them. So, I would encourage you to hug your babies, your grandchildren, your neices, nephews, cousins, friends, etc. and thank Our Heavenly Father for all of our precious little ones.
