A little Perspective

So I have a Christmas update coming....but just had to post this first. I was blog hopping during nap time today and came across a blog that made me cry...almost sob.... A little angel taken from her parents by tragedy all too soon.... As I read the account of the story from the sweet inspirational words of her mom....i cried...and cried.....

So today as my children woke up from their naps...I held them close...I snuggled them and watched Word World...I didn't worry about the dishes...or they toys scattered all over the house. I didn't even yell at Duke as he came inside covered in mud and I had to give him a bath.

I have felt more grateful in the last year than I can ever remember being for all that I have...today brought a new perspective to that....

I thank Heaven for all that I have for my beautiful children and the opportunity to be their mom now and forever! And now...I am going to go hug and snuggle them more!
