Time to Reflect

This morning at 5:50 am, I was sound asleep. Next thing I know, I heard a sweet little voice next to my ear whisper, "Good Morning Mommy, I love you." That sweet little voice then said - "Scoot over, I want to snuggle you."

First thought to pop in my head is how very early it is. Second thought, (once my brain had a chance to wake up a bit) is how extremely blessed I am. I sometimes find myself taking the little things in life for granted. Sometimes I even take the big things for granted.

How much must God love me? This is what I realized early this morning. On one side of me, I have my darling little girl and on the other side I have a loving (snoring) husband who just happens to be my soul mate. Wow. This is what it is all about. The daily grind, the working hard, the struggles, the frustrations, the typical "grown-up" stresses. Without these, we wouldn't have the ability to reflect and see how very, very blessed we are.

Thank God for what he has given me in life and for what is to come in the future. As Thanksgiving rolls around this week, I am going to savor every single second spent with my family and my dear friends. And, I hope everyone that reads this blog realizes how lucky they are!
