I am blessed

This morning on the way to the bathroom, I stepped on something cold and squishy in my bedroom, and I didn't scream. Then in the living room, I tripped over something hard and nearly went flying across the room- and I didn't yell out. Both of these events occurred at 5:20 am (I am an early riser). What is the point of this, you ask. Well, I am blessed. You see, I am blessed because the cold, squishy something was a frog filled with water (like a stress reliever ball- only it's a frog) and I know how much fun my son has while playing with it. ANd the hard object was one of my daughter's shoes - and I am blessed because she has more than one pair. And even more so, I am blessed because I get to see these two precious faces every morning. We never know how much time we have with our loved ones, so let's cherish it. Enjoy those blessings that God has given you- the blessing of a husband or wife who stands by your side, even in those hair-brained schemes you think up. Enjoy your children and the house (or apt) God has provided for you. Just enjoy life, and don't be so quick to complain. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly, so CARPE DIEM! Suck the marrow out of life, and holler loudly "YAWP!"
