Hopefully this won't sound like the late night ramblings of a tired mind, but I just had to get back up and post this now (even though there were a few posts I wanted to do before this one, just to keep a chronological flow).
I cannot believe how truly blessed I am. There are times during the course of a day when this is (shamefully) not always the first thought on my mind...But then I see them sleeping so peacefully and I can't help but stand there for moments on end just watching them breathe and thanking God for them.
After climbing in bed tonight, I turned on the news only to find a story on a family whose second son was a stillbirth. They had quite a few pictures of him and his coloring was so good that it was really hard to believe he wasn't just sleeping. This only magnified the gratefulness that had so overwhelmed me earlier and brought me to tears. Wow. To have four little children, as much work as they can be, is incredible, amazing and absolutely wonderful. What a blessing...
