I thought about her on and off through the day. A quick prayer being said every time. I know her fear. I have lived that fear.
It was about 5ish when my cell phone rang. Not many people call it, and it was a bit odd.
"Hello?" I always question, thinking it to be a telemarketer.
"You were right!" my friend sobbed into the phone. "The baby is alive!"
The blessing were felt on so many levels. It was huge.
Sometimes the blessings are small, and I need to look for them. All the laundry done in one day without interruption. My dishwasher that I luv. Klara getting dressed on her own. Sunny afternoons spent outside with my wee ones for a walk. Chasing the dog through the neighborhood (this was about living the moment, and a lesson for wee ones. 'A blessing in disguise' my mom calls it. And it resulted in a morning at the park!) The back-splash slowly going up in the kitchen.
Big or small they are there. Everyday.
This week we had a blessing of throwing a belated Valentines party. Friends, food, goody bags, and a morning off.
in his old age, he is living life to the fullest. |
It was such a blessing to be with friends, sharing and laughing. And added with watching the small ones play, laugh, grow and learn - it made a near perfect day. (The only sad part was our party goers going home.)
Other blessings - I call big but some might call small - are
hugs and kisses
finding him so peaceful after an early morning workout
seeing the evidence of her brain growing as she sorts and organizes. (and she cleaned it up!)
check out the due. It took hours for that one. a shower before bed, and all night work'n on it! LOL |
I hope your week was full of blessing big and small that you could see! I would luv to hear some of them!
I'm off for an early bedtime, and ready for a new week full of blessings!
