I normally don't just sit down and blog, it is usually for the purpose of updating all my friends and family about the happenings in Alex's life. However, while searching for the "perfect" wordless Wednesday picture from yesterday's blog I was reminded how blessed I am. I had my computer outside, because that is where Alex wants to be most these days. I had logged on and was checking on all my CB, FB, Twitter, ect.... posts. After that, I went on my search for "the picture". While searching through them I felt the hand of my little boy rest on mine. I immediately felt a sense of urgency to stop and thank God for all the blessings in my life. From that point on it felt like I was wiping away layers of dust that had collected on my own life. I've been so caught up in everyone else's life, I had managed to leave my blessings in the "dust". I put the computer down and put my focus on what I had in front of me at that moment. With every thought that came to mind from that point on, I thanked God. It was amazing how wonderful it felt to be in the moment with my family. God has taken care of me, regardless of the situation. Five or six years ago... I learned that thanking God even in the bad times was a critical part of building my faith. I say all of this just to point out the importance of seeing God in all that is going on. Be thankful regardless of the situation.
Just to let you know, I found the perfect picture for our Wordless Wednesday while holding my baby boy in my lap and letting him pick out his favorite picture. What a perfectly blessed afternoon to remember!!!
