Gratitude

I've been wanting to do this post for a few days, but have been unable to figure out the exact words so far. Still not sure I'll get it right, but we'll give it a go!

I really am a very blessed girl. I have my wonderful family who has supported me in everything my entire life. I have loving and supportive friends who are all willing to drop everything in order to help me if needed. I have an amazing husband, a fantastic marriage and a beautiful little boy. My husband's family is just as wonderful as my own, and I love them all to death. More importantly, I have a Father in Heaven who truly is mindful of my little life and all the important people in it. Heaven knows my life is not perfect (!!). I have had my fair share of drama and grief to deal with. But through it all, it is crystal clear that there is a Father in Heaven who has his hands in everything and provides everything I need. And it seems that the worse, or harder, the situation is, the more He is involved.

Words cannot express how grateful I am that my little family is safe and sound. That we are happy, healthy and thriving. I am madly in love with my husband. I adore our son. And even though life is not easy, and horrible things do sometimes happen, I am confident that life will only get better as we go on!!

Those challenging and hard moments in our lives can be such blessings too as they teach us what is most important and help remind us how meaningful those relationships we have are to us and how much our Heavenly Father loves and cares for us. You are awesome!

That pretty much says it all. Life is hard, but it's also amazing!
