Sorry all for the delay in posting! Things got kind of crazy around here with the holidays. We had sickness hit our home again during the Christmas break, so when the family left we just relaxed and allowed everyone to get well.
Lately God has been showing me how truly blessed I am! I have a most loving and caring husband that anyone could ever ask for. There have been times when I have forgotten how blessed I am to have him by my side.(ie. wondering when he will do the dishes, or fold laundry, or quit falling asleep all the time after working so hard all day!) but thankfully God gently reminds that he gave him to me. In the whirlwind called life I sometimes lose sight of the things most important. I was able to spend some good quality time with my dear husband during the holidays and enjoyed his time very much. It is the little things I enjoy most, sitting and talking into the wee hrs of the morning about really nothing, just the day to day things, unloading the dishwasher together, and playing games on the Wii. Marrying my husband is the best thing that happened to me besides Salvation!
There are 3 other blessings in my life as well named Eric, Gregory, and Audrey! Boy, this one has hit home to me as well. There are moments when I think they will never stop arguing and being mean to each other and I just feel like pulling my hair out. Then I realize that there are many people who wish they could have kids of their own and can't or even some who do have their own child but has very poor health. Here I am with 3 beautiful and healthy children and I want to complain because they are just being kids! UGH! This holiday season I so enjoyed having them home and spent some quality time with them. Who would have thought that sleeping in until 10 am, eating breakfast then snuggling back up on my bed to watch a movie could be so meaningful. My kids love to snuggle on my bed with me and I love it just as much! We played many a board games and Wii games. I am so grateful for my time with these 3 amazing kids. This week they had 3 days off school and we didn't go anywhere during those 3 days. We stayed home and enjoyed our time together. Unfortunately Robert had to work still so he couldn't spend as much time with them. I had dinner ready so that when he got home we could eat and enjoy the evening. The kids loved it! They treasure their time with their daddy. I love sitting in the background to watch them play with daddy. Watching them mature and grow spiritually has been a huge blessing. Our oldest, Eric has shown some huge signs of boldness for Christ lately and we are so proud of him.(makes me feel ashamed) The other two are maturing so much and all 3 are willing to talk to us about anything! (not many kids talk with their parents these days!)
So, this year is my year to just enjoy the little things and each small and simple moment and impress them into my memory banks forever. It will be all too soon when I won't have the time with my sweet children.
Take the time to enjoy the simple things of life as well!
