Today, as I was driving to Thanksgiving, I was falling asleep. I'd been up since 6 feeding Smiley, getting ready for, and running, a 5k, and then preparing food. And Smiley was asleep. And I've been super tired recently. So I was falling asleep. My audio book wasn't helping, so I switched to Keith Urban's CD, Be Here(I think that's what it's called, my phone could tell you). Anyways, the song "Better life" came on. One of my favorite songs, ever. Up to this point in my married life, I've more identified with the "we're headed for a better life" idea. Life was good, but we were barely scraping by. We had worked, hoped, and prayed that things would get better. Recently, they did. And today I realized it.
I am the luckiest girl in the world! I have an awesome husband, who works hard to support us, even if it means missing out on Thanksgiving with his extended family. I have the cutest son in the world! We have each other. And we have a Heavenly Father who knows what we want, but gives us what we need, instead. Sometimes we need to go through the hard times, learn life lessons, and start to become the people He knows we can be, before He will help us.
I am grateful for my family and a Heavenly Father who knows me, not just the me now, but the me He sees I can be.
For what are you grateful?
