Last night was one of those nights for me. Most nights I lay in bed, say my prayers, thank God for all that He has given me, and drift off to sleep; but last night was one of those nights where I felt truly blessed and I started thinking of all the reasons why:
I have an amazing husband and we have an awesome relationship, my girls are happy, healthy and all around wonderful, we have a home that is filled with love, laughter, and often with family and friends as well, we have jobs, and we have food in the cupboard. All of that alone is enough to make anyone feel blessed and thankful. However, I have also been blessed with a wonderful family, I have a great relationship with my mom, my dad, my step-mom, and my siblings, I have great grandparents, aunts and uncles and I am close with many cousins (even more now thanks to Facebook and someday I'll write a post about our annual camping reunions). I am also blessed to have an awesome and amazing "in-law family" and I feel lucky that they love me and that we have such great relationships.
As I closed my eyes last night and drifted off to sleep those were the things I thought about and I felt overwhelming happiness.
