So I have said very little about it but lately somethings in life have been very tough to take. Work is slow for Phil which means no money coming in. Medical bills just never seem to go away. Some days in the quiet of my car on my long ride to work I sit and cry mostly from worry.
On the really busy times it would have been nice for Phil to come to a doctor visit for Maddie. However, he doesn't work for three days and the one day I would have wanted him to be off he has to work. In the craziness of this past weekend we saw each other in passing. Which makes me miss just vegging on the couch with him. As the kids age the time will come again.
However, over the last 24 hours I have been reminded that our situation could always be worse, if you ask and are willing to accept it on His terms God will always provide and not to ever overlook the smile or hug of a child. One day they will think they are too old for it.
We could have been one of those families who lost their home, a family member or their life was just turned upside down from the mid west tornadoes. I could be a single mom caring for a mentally challenged son and my power is about to be cut off. We could be the family that lost one child to a CHD and two months later the other child dies from meningitis. So yes my life could always be so much worse. All true stories by the way.
So today I am thankful for my job, family, children and glorious friends. Some how we will find a way to pay the medical bills and be happy with what is in front of us. I will remember to kiss my children every night as I pray over them for God's protection and peaceful sleep. I will remember to be happy they are alive when they wake me at 6am ready to start the day and I feel like I need toothpicks to hold my eyes lids open. I will just be thankful for today and let God worry about tomorrow.
Hope your Monday was uneventful.
TTFN~
