Today I woke up with a smile on my face! For the first time I took a step back and LOOKED from the outside looking in at my life. Luke had his normal morning hiccups and body rolls from left to right in my belly, Lilly gave me her normal wet kisses and her head on my chest, my husband left the house with a typical long kiss on the forehead and a sweet "I Love You", the sheets and comforter smelled like sweet fabric softener, and the sun was peaking through the window.... - all of which I never realized how truly lucky I was to have... I closed my eyes and the Lord humbled me at that moment - reminding me that even though I am not a millionaire, I am not a supermodel, that I am not a genius - I have riches far beyond what I deserve.
With all that being said, today's mood is a day of feeling humbled... - and of course blessed.
When I got in the car, Kirk Franklin was on.... and I smiled again.... "......Love a word that comes and goes, But few people really know, What it means to really love somebody, Love, though the tears may fade away, I'm so glad your love will stay, Cause I love you , And you show me, Jesus, What it really means to love..."
Thanks for painting the picture Sarah! These moments are so wonderful to have from time to time and it is even better when in the moment we know we are having them! Good luck as the next month goes by...
