One Thousand Gifts

You know this has been hard, really hard, especially lately. I had a moment this week where I thought I was going to completely lose it and have a complete breakdown and then I heard this voice telling me to count, just count--EUCHARISTO. So I did and the peace and gratefulness that came over me was amazing. I wish I could remember this every day, all the time, but hey I am a work in progress.

So I struggle and count on....

13.) a roof over our heads (oh trust me there is so much I could say about this right now, but I am happy that we aren't homeless)

14.) Movie nights and seeing how excited Zech and Gigi get over something so simple.

15.) Hearing my little one's heart beat loud and strong.

16.) Kisses on my belly from his/her big brother and sister.

17.) Hands rocking my belly back and forth, singing "rock-a-bye-baby"! She really loves to sing!

18.) Hugs from my hubby.

19.) Celebrating 2 years and hearing her sing "Happy Birthday" to herself.

20.) Videos that are memories for a life time. These totally crack me up!!

That's exactly what I like about counting the blessings! It can change my attitude and my eyes in just a few seconds. He always gives us so much more than we can ever imagine! Happy Birthday to G! Take care of yourself and the littlest one :)

P.S. Bob bumped into Vincen at a repair place last week and had a great conversation about the farming and gardening scene. They had lots to talk about :)

A definite HB to Gigi!! I hope you all are doing well and it is so refreshing to see your counting of blessings!! I hope you all are doing well. Sent you a mail a little while ago - am sure you have VERY little time to respond to such, but just wanted you to know we're thinking of you guys and want to "hear all about it" when you have time.
