Blessings

Wow! Can you believe it's already Nov. 1? Where has this year went to? I guess I am feeling a little bit sentimental this morning, but I can't help it. I guess I can blame it on the last several days, lack of sleep or just being completely worn to a frazzle, but I know it's just that I took time to listen when my sweet Saviour whispered to me this morning...

When I woke up this morning, I rolled over and looked at the clock and realized that I hadn't "fell back" last night, so instead of it being 7:20, it was actually 6:20! I groaned and thought "oh, man!" But I got up and went into the living room to check on Whit. (She's been sleeping in the recliner since she had surgery.)

I had the most overwhelming feeling this morning...I was completely brought to tears thinking about how truly blessed I am! I thought of all the parents that have lost children, have sick children or have never been blessed with children...and here my most precious blessing is...slightly battered, but ALIVE! What a great feeling, just knowing, I can sneak in a take a picture, kiss her sweet forehead, brush her cheek and hair!!! It's moments like this, quiet moments, that God speaks to you, to the very core of your soul and makes you gasp and stand in awe at His majestic power and blessings. His blessings, that I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I DO NOT deserve, but because I am forgiven, He has blessed me with...and blessed me beyond measure! Thank you Jesus, for my blessings and for especially for my child!

I have been reading daily about little Stellan, and wondering what his poor Mother is going through! If your not familiar with his story, it's a blessing just to read...it will touch your heart. So, I am asking, today as you pray, please pray for me and Whit, but say a special prayer for little Stellan and his Mommy, because if your a Mother, you know the power of a Mother's love. Pray for the Mother's that have lost their children way too soon and for the women that are Mother's, in their heart, but their poor bodies just can't give them a child. Especially pray for those women who have children, and just don't realize the precious blessings they have been given.

Thanks for all the prayers that have went up this week for me and Whit. We love each and every one of you!
