I was out in the garden this evening with DH, and i started to think about this little boy, about 4 of 5's age, that is in the hospital this evening. He's actually been in the hospital a lot these past few months, with various different problems. (rhettsjourney.blogspot.com) And it reminded me that i needed to take a minute to count my blessings. It wasn't that long ago that we were wondering if we were going to be able to keep our little girl. She was born with a few of the same things this little boy has. I'm a bit sad when i remember the thoughts I had about keeping her, the shock of the whole situation caught me off guard. It's funny, you know, the "process" you go through to get where you are. The situations that cross your path, that make you who you are. I remember about a month before we got pregnant with her, feeling like i was in a rut. Not a real strong testimony, just kind of hanging out. And i actually asked for something to strengthen my testimony, and help me build my faith. I chuckle to my self about it now. Life is much different now. I would have never guessed. My parents would have never guessed. And my friends from my late teens early 20's would never recognize me.
But honestly, could you ask for anything better? Could life get any better? I now know better than to ask for a trial to build my faith.... Although, hind sight shows me it was the best thing i could have ever done for myself. I would do it over again. My sweet family, my sweet 4 of 5. (markers and all, can you see her signing color/write) Healthy, happy, smart, kind, she brightens the lives of many. Honestly, what else could you ask for.
