{grateful}

Today I am feeling grateful... One of my dearest friends just found out recently that her son has a tumor or growth in his brain it is causing him to have seizures and they are headed to Primary's on Monday for a biopsy and who knows what else... Sandy we love you, we are praying for Tommy, and know that the Lord loves you too! I also read on the blog of an old friend about the recent death of her nephew... (you can read the story from his sweet mother HERE, my friend's blog is private so I can't give you a link). How amazing was/is this woman's faith to know her baby may not live and yet to stay so positive... and then when his life was lost she was so strong. These two women amaze me they are being faced with trials I hope to never bear and so today I am grateful. Grateful for the sweet baby girl kicking and moving inside me as I type, grateful for my little Thatcher who learned the word "book" yesterday and asked me 20+ times "book please" as he followed me around the house and we read book after book cuddled up together, grateful for my Aly who chatters to me all day about puppies, monsters, kittens, and christmas, and most of all I am grateful for my amazing, sweet, and supportive husband who has incredible faith, who is so loving with our children, who cares so deeply for me... I am blessed. Today I am grateful.
