It's moments like this

..... when all I can think about is how very blessed I am with my life.

When I stop all of my other thoughts and I thank God for every single thing He has blessed me with.

When every small thing that may be challenging a the time seems like nothing in comparison to what is right.

When I take a moment to really realize that I have it so amazingly great.

That everything, from the clothes on my back, the food on my table, to the health of myself and my family and good friends, is a gift. A true gift.

It truly was at this exact moment, that I had these overwhelming feelings of gratefulness. I had to take out my camera, and take a picture, because these are the moments that I am just filled with love and thankfulness.

These moments happen at odd times. Sometimes when I walk into the living room and see two of my kids sitting snuggled up together. Sometimes as I am watching them ride their bikes on the street. Sometimes when I am following them to the bus stop. Sometimes when I catch Chris reading a book to Ben. Or wrestling with Connor. Sometimes when I see the excitement that the kids have when they see their grandparents, all four of them.

These are the moments that catch me, and remind me, of the great life I have.

These are the moments that all I can think about is how blessed I really am.

These are the moments when I stop all my other thoughts and thank God for every wonderful thing in my life....
