A Day in the Life: Day 9 of 366

Day 9

Today, I am feeling extremely grateful for my children. Last night on Clickin Moms, a photography forum I am a member of, a woman posted a request for prayers. Her two year old son Evan had fallen 8 feet off some playground equipment at their local park. He went into immediate cardiac arrest. He was air lifted to the hospital, and he is currently fighting for his life. You can read more of his story here www.facebook.com/healingevan, but grab Kleenex first.

Her story hit close to home. I haven't quit checking the Facebook page looking for an updated post. Looking for a miracle. I look at Thaxton, and I can't even imagine what this mother is going through. How hard it must be to feel completely helpless, and not being able to trade places with him. So, I will continue to pray for this family. Pray they receive their miracle.

But, I am also so very grateful that my kids are safe. As I type this, my children are safely tucked into their own beds. I was able to get hugs and kisses from them tonight. I even got in a few extra for safe measure. I got to hear I love you from them. I got to tell them I loved them. I am very blessed tonight.

Sometimes, it is easy to forget to slow down. My life tends to run at a crazy pace. Today on Pinterest, I seen this quote by Robert Brault.

"Enjoy the little things,

for one day you may look back

and realize they were the big things.”

I have this before, but today it hit home. This quote is going on my kitchen wall so that I can be reminded on a daily basis. Tonight, I feel grateful and extremely blessed.

So, here was some of my day!
