Blessed

Its nearly 8 am on a beautiful spring day. The girls seem to be sleeping in and it has given me a few moments to breath and reflect on how blessed we are. For starters, I have two beautiful HEALTHY girls who love to laugh, giggle and play. They are good girls. Mischievous at time but generally very good. Blessing 1 & 2. I have a wonderful strong loving husband who is also Healthy. He works hard and loves us beyond measure. He is generally very good too. Blessing 3

Since my unfortunate Lay off from work, our little family has been pretty stressed and tight with our budget. Oh don't get me wrong, I have loved staying home with my children and catching up on time lost. Blessing number 4 But, that still doesn't take a way the pressures of money. But the other day I was reminded that the Lord is in control.

Lilly Bug needed some formula and diapers, essential in her little life. I was a little worried how that was going to come about since Blake didn't get paid until this coming Friday. On Sunday, after returning home from my YW meeting. There on our front porch was a box with two cans of Formula in it. It was from a member of our ward. She said she didn't use that kind of formula and thought we could use it. Blessing number 5. The next day after the girls and I returned from a day with Grandma there was another package on our porch. It was an opened pack of diapers...Size 3. For Lillybug. And a message on my machine from a lady in the YW presidency saying she hopes we can use these diapers since HER daughter doesn't fit into this size any more. Blessing number 6. What a wonderful thing it is to see God take care of us in small ways. I guess as long as we look we will see how blessed we are all the time. Sometimes its not THAT obvious.

I know that I am watched over and protected. I know that as long as I am faithful, my family will be blessed. What a wonderful comfort.
