Big & Small

Exactly a year ago Robdawg and I were in a car accident. I was 8 months pregnant at the time which made the experience all the more frightening. We were hit by a drunk driver and later found out that she was a young single mother who lived across the road from our apartment. I don't often think about her but whenever I do, I hope that she's made better choices since that night. We lost our first car but are thankful to be alive. In an effort to maintain a spirit of gratitude in my heart, I've chosen to take a moment every night and list what I'm grateful for. In doing so I can then vividly see the hand of the Lord in our lives. Counting your blessings, big and small, can really put things in perspective. Here's my list for today: 1) I love the sound of Robdawg's laughter, it always makes me happy to hear him laugh. 2) I listened to baby boy singing yum yum yum as he ate his dinner. I love how he enjoys his meals. 3) My mother is so thoughtful, she's often an answer to a prayer. Mind you they're not always this sentimental, sometimes it's as simple as being grateful for having the bathroom light fixed. Hooray! One can now finally shower in the evening!
