Yesterday I had a wonderful visit with my friend Jodi. She is a remarkable woman and I am continually amazed how God gives her comfort. Jodi and her husband Keith lost their 4th child, Jackson, during childbirth not even a month ago. While I am sure she has her sad moments, she is genuinely at peace knowing her little man is sitting in the arms of Jesus! This really has gotten me thinking about how much I have to be thankful for. I often find myself frustrated beyond belief and even angry at my children. I really need to do a gut check here...I have my children! God gave me these amazing boys (for how long only He knows) to borrow...they are not MINE. I need to be grateful for each day I have with them and every opportunity to live life to the fullest with them.
So, today I decided was going to be a better day. It is AMAZING how my attitude has a transforming ability to it. It can be for the positive or the negative...today has been a better day. I have a choice to make each and every day, often many times throughout each day, to be cheerful, happy, and pleasant to be around, OR I can be grumpy, angry, and not too much fun to be with. I want to make more of an effort to enjoy my days with the boys. With all that I have been blessed with in my 32 years, I certainly have nothing to complain about.
