Thank you Father!

I know, I know, my blogs are few and far between, but hey, I'm writing now!!!

I decided to write a little snippet because I was reminded of something today. I know this sweet, godly, beautiful young woman who amazes me! Her spirit is saturated with loveliness! I keep up with her on Facebook and through her blog about her and her husband's struggle to adopt a child. They have been excited and disappointed, mostly disappointed, so many times but she has never lost her faith or her resolved. As I read her most recent blog, I was truly convicted.

I have to admit I have been very frustrated lately with my kids. They never pick up after themselves, they never throw their trash away, they leave their dirty clothes wrongside out, their rooms are always messy, their bathroom is, well....we won't even get into that! Anyway, as I read her blog it made me realize I should treasure those things. I am blessed to have them and I have never even given a second thought as to how easy it was for me to just have them.
What I'm trying to say is that I have to ask for forgiveness from Father for taking for granted things and people that others so desperately long for.

Heather, I am amazed at you and you are precious. Thank you for opening my eyes and helping me to be thankful for my children, even when they're frustrating! My prayers are with you and you're going to be a wonderful mommy some day!!!
