Blessed

Do you ever have one of those days where you are feelig down, and then something smacks you in the face, not usually literaly that says, 'um, hello idiot you have it pretty good!!'
I have had a couple of those moments in the last couple days.
The first is someone from my church had twin boys quite early, I'm not sure exactly how early but one of the little guys didn't make it, and the other one is not doing well. I am keeping the family in my prayers, but I am so blessed my twins were born so healthy...they made it to 38 weeks, I was not on any bed rest, and the weighed about 6 lbs and 8 lbs!! My little monsters!!
The second is happening at work. I am preparing a trip for our students to do service work in Honduras. The organiszation we are traveling with has a video on their site and watching the babies in the nursery made me cry. Maybe it just hits me more because I am a mom now, but to think of my babies in a situation where they did not have the necessities to live...and not even come close to having what they need. It makes my heart hurt so much. I pray for all those moms who can't support their babies, and just don't have the resources to give them what they need.
I just need to remember to take time to realize how lucky I am. Jeff, I hope you are reading this. WE ARE BLESSED. My babies are blessed too...not only to have an awesome mom and dad! But to be born here and now...and it is my mission to make sure they realise how blessed they are and to pay those blessings forward in life.

Till next time!
