Last night I was reading my friends blog about her baby. Her little one has a brain tumor and she generously lets the world into her weekly joys and sorrows. I am grateful for this peek at her life.
I spent the day on the phone worrying about a visiting teaching sister that is incredible private but I found out about some of her private emotional pain yesterday. My husband came home and we put aside a petty disagreement while he listened to my concerns for this other sister. I am grateful for him.
I started another round of the women's choir that I am in. This time I not only have the friend that introduced me to the choir but I also have a dear friend (close as a sister) and a sister in law. I am grateful for the time in the car going back and forth to choir so I have sweet time with these women.
Finally, last night my youngest came out of his room crying because he had a fever and was pretty sick. For almost an hour I watched my husband hold him, read to him, and talk with him. It carried me back to the nights I would hear Les rocking and singing to a restless infant. I am grateful for this quiet picture in my heart because it reminds me that life inside my home is so important and I have been blessed with a wonderful family and husband.
This is great. I seriously started crying. It's so easy to take our families for granted. I am so grateful I married into this family, and have my wonderful man. For all our father and mother -in-law quirks, they raised their sons to be wonderful fathers and husbands. Thanks for the reminder, i really needed to hear it.
