Blessings

This may be a first for me, two posts in one day!  I couldn't help myself, I had to share this song.  I came across this song as I was reading another blog this evening.  I thought to myself this will make for a great post one day this week.  I closed the laptop and turned on the TV, but I just couldn't help myself.  I opened the computer right back up.. for some reason I'm obligated to share this song tonight.  Maybe someone reading needs to hear it.  This song is called "Blessings" by Laura Story.  Enjoy!

I think this song touched me so much because I constantly speak of how blessed Pat and I were to get to meet our Paige.  Paige was a very sick baby and it's nothing short of a miracle that she survived nine months in me and three days on this earth.  Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that only having my baby three days with me would be a blessing.  It's so important that I focus on the part about having my baby with me.  I met Paige.  I held Paige.  I kissed Paige.  I gave Paige to Jesus.  Not every mommy gets to do that.  I did.  That to me is a miracle and a huge blessing.  Blessings often come in disguise, we don't know how blessed we are until we take the time to really think about it.  Paige could of easily not survived in the womb.  Her leukimia started in the very early stages of pregnancy.  Of course, we had no idea she was sick, but autopsy reports show how early her leukimia began.  We were so blessed to hold our baby girl in our arms with her sweet heart beating.  I will forever be thankful for that amazing blessing! 

Tonight think about all the blessings in your life.  No matter how big or small we are all blessed and so lucky to have a God who blesses us the way He does!

In you I trust, O my God.
