Tired...So Tired....

Someone remind me why I get up at 4:45 every morning and go to the gym (and then go back to the gym in the afternoon, sometimes). And while I am complaining about being tired, how does all this dirt get in my house? Why does the laundry always end up in the hamper...I just washed that!! Why do all my kids LOVE to ask me questions... all ...the ...time...


Alright I am done complaining. I am just really tired today. Although I am exhausted, I am also extremely happy. I heard a great saying on the radio this morning from Dr. Dobson. I am sure I won't say it word for word but I think this is how it goes... When you are envious of others you are essentially saying that God is not taking care of you. How sad is that. I am so thankful to be content with what I have been given in this life. I think growing up with nothing helps me to appreciate all the little things that God does for me everyday. I mean I have a wonderful family, a home, a minivan (I mean how wonderful is the minivan! I don't just have a car, I have a minivan people!).


I could go on and on listing all the material items that God has blessed us with. But really it is the emotional and spiritual things that matter the most. I have an amazing husband who loves me to death (and I him). And I have been blessed with three wonderful children. Those are wonderful things that I am so very grateful for. But even more importantly I have a Heavenly Father who loves and cherishes me at all times. So today in the midst of my exhaustion I will be focusing on my blessings.


One of which is this little girl...Thank you Lord for providing everything we need...
