After two hours of running around at work, I finally get to my desk to find an email from my hubby. This is how I got the news yesterday so I was a little nervous. But as I read the sweet words, my eyes filled with tears. This sweet man who I get to claim as MY husband was lavishing me with words of love and gratitude for me and for our marriage. My heart just about burst with joy!
I know that God spoke through J this morning to remind me that even though I don't have a baby to hold, that I have SO VERY MUCH to be ever-grateful for! It starts with my hubby and our awesome marriage, but it goes beyond that. I have a close-knit family and a few super-supportive friends. I have in-laws who I refuse to call "in-laws" because of the bad stigma that often goes with that title. I am so blessed to have all of these wonderful people in my life. I don't know where I would be without all of them. I thank my God for this beautiful reminder!
No matter what you are waiting on or feel you are missing out on, don't forget to look around to see all the wonders that God has already given you. Many of our blessings we take for granted without a second thought. Take time to truly dwell on what the Lord has gifted to you.
Love & Hugs,
MK
Wow Mary...great reminder and encouragement. In our darkest hour it is hard to look around and count our blessings...love when God uses someone as the flashlight to help us see them.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately God needs to remind me often, but I'm so glad that he does!
DeleteMK... This is Leigh. Wow! The lesson here is PATIENCE. While I myself hate being patient I now know it is part of God's teaching. All in HIS time. While my own personal quiver is quite full I am reminded daily that we are all blessed in so many different ways. We just need to thank the good Lord for the gifts we have in front of us. WHEN God finally provides you that opportunity to become a mother, you be a fabulous mother. I KNOW THAT. A step mother's role is very important too. Remember to keep the faith. God knows what he is doing... Hugs
ReplyDeleteHugs to you too! Thank you dear for the kind words. All of our roles are important whether we realize it or not. :)
