I am no fancy writer but I wanted to share how this one blog (one life) has shown me that life is short and we don't always know what is in store for us but, we should be thankful every moment of everyday for what God has given to us.
As I was reading this blog today (http://audreycaroline.blogspot.com)
and I set her and pray for those who have lost children at all stages of pregnancy and life.
I want to thank God for the two beautiful blessings he has given me in Makenzie Nicole born May 13, 2003 by c-section one week past her due date weighing in at a healthy 9lbs 13oz 21 inches long. And her sister Abigail Grace born March 24, 2005 born via c-section weighing in at an even healthier weight of 10lbs 1oz 22 inches long. My pregnancies were with minor complications and I thank the Lord. Even with my gestational diabetes and shots and stress tests they were simple.
I have taken for granted my children and what a blessing their lives are. Their health, their beautiful smiles, their laughter and all God has designed them to be. I don't want to take that for granted anymore.
As I ponder all this today, I think there are so many times that we forget to thank God for even the smallest details in our lives. I don't want my life to be about me I want it to be about him and what he has given me to use here on this life and to use it to HIS GLORY not mine.
I was reading her blog earlier too. You're right. We often take our kids for granted.
