I'm sitting in front of the fireplace, the house is cleaned and Morgan and Tatum are playing some kind of chase game around the house. I have 20 minutes before the boys have to be picked up. I am relishing the down time I have had the last hour to read the headlines of the day and some of my favorite blogs. I find myself in a pondering mode...
How did I get so lucky to stay home with my kids and raise them? How is it that Mike and I have such healthy, beautiful, rambunctious children? How is it that I have this beautiful life? The answer that always comes is this..... I found Jesus Christ! He is Real and He did save me! I know to those who have not experienced a relationship with Him find a declaration like that uncomfortable or even dumb.... I don't care. I know what I know and I love that I have this knowledge! Through my relationship with Christ I have all that I have.
So on days when I have a moment to watch the wood burn in the fireplace, and hear my kids running and laughing, knowing they are warm and safe, and knowing that all I have is by His grace...I can't help but smile and feel overwhelming gratitude.
