Count your blessings 1 by 1
Someone I love called me to share that someone she loved passed away. He was a young boy with several disabilities who gallantly fought to live. Apparently physicians told his family he would have a short life span but he far exceeded expectations.
I woke up thinking about his mother. The time, energy, sacrifice and love she poured into her child and the pain she must feel now. For all of the struggles and stress the journey is always worth it.
This year I shared our family experienced personal grief. Although life is still pretty raw – we are learning to count our blessings 1 by 1. Like the little boy who was finally called home. Both of our daughters continue to exceed expectations.
Counting it all joy that we can experience moments of hope and periods of deliverance.
We are never promised tomorrow. The gift is the present!
