My heart is heavy right now for a family whose little boy is fighting for his life against an aggressive cancer and I am reminded that life and death are held in God's hands - not our own. Each day we have is a gift and we need to cherish the moments we are given with our loved ones. Pray with me for the Burgess family that God would comfort them, that He would heal their little boy and that He would be glorified in their hearts and life. And take a moment to be thankful for your loved ones.
I thank God for Addie because:
She has taught me a little bit more of my Heavenly Father's love for me.
She has helped me to see parts of myself that I would have never known if I had not been a mother.
She has forced Ryan and I to grow stronger as one in the Lord.
She smiles and the bleakest day is a good day.
She blows kisses to people that most of us refuse to acknowledge.
She trusts me and depends on me without reservation or fear.
She takes delight in the simplest of things.
She looks like an angel while she sleeps.
She is my baby, my gift from God.

What a great reminder! It is easy to forget our children are such blessings when we (I) are so caught up in day-to-day life!
We all get bogged down sometimes with "everyday stuff", but our children really are a blessing! (And yours are just so darn cute, btw!)
