one thing
to be thankful for...........each day this month.
It is amazing how a thankful heart can change your perspective - how being thankful for even the littlest things in life can bring a new joy or peace where there was once anxiety or frustration.
I know this task will be a blessing to me. And I pray that my list may somehow bless others - maybe bring that reminder, or spark a thought of something you are also grateful for.
Day 1: I am grateful for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Day 2: I am grateful for my husband.
Day 3: I am grateful for "Touchdown".
Day 4: I am grateful for "Curly Girly".
Day 5: I am grateful for "Squirt".
Day 6: I am grateful for "Sweetness".

Day 7:
I am grateful that I am a mom.
This is what I always dreamed of being! It's easy to forget this in the midst of messy, hectic, crazy moments that go with motherhood. But I am really living my dream life here!
Although it was only a short time ago, when I wondered if I would ever be graced with the name of mom. I can't forget the elation I felt when I saw my first positive pregnancy test. I called my doctor and set up my first appointment. I bought a pregnancy book and faithfully started reading about this wonderful miracle. Then at 12 weeks, we found out that our baby had died. I had what was called a missed-miscarriage. I never even imagined that it could happen to me. I felt inadequate, useless. This was all I had ever dreamed of. And with a job offer for my husband that very day and a move to a new city, we put our family planning on hold. And it hurt. The inadequacy stayed with me for almost 3 years. But God had a plan for me and I am so very grateful that His plan included me being mom to these 4 beauties.
