“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV)
Yesterday a friend mailed me a link to the funniest blog. Check it out yourself: mom2my6pack.blogspot.com. After reading of the mothering adventures this mom faces, I told myself I wouldn’t complain about my 2 in the grocery store ever again.
Perhaps it was seeing myself in a few of her stories, maybe I was just in a reflective mood after a week filled with firsts…either way, last night I found myself so grateful for the blessings in my life. After praising God for my children and my husband, I began to reflect on his recent turn of events. I’ve already expressed the evidence of God’s design through that circumstance. Yet, standing back, looking over the past 10 years, I can see so clearly that not only are we destined to be here right now, but we’ve been placed here deliberately and with a purpose. What an overwhelming and humbling thought!
