For the last few weeks I have been somewhat consumed with the pain and suffering of others. The sadness took over me and there was little besides regular life that I thought of than the hard lives of others. It dawned on me this morning after flipping out over the fact that I gained four pounds that I haven't really been living IN my own life. I have been looking through the periphery and forgetting to appreciate the greatness that surrounds me. I will continue to mourn for others' pain and loss. I will pray for them every day. But, I am going to watch my kids more, kiss my husband often and be HERE for it all.
James "graduated" to the toddler Sunday School.
He is so paying attention! Look at the concentration!

sounds like a great plan..love the pictures. hard to believe that James has graduated to the toddler class - good news for James. Sounds like a lot more fun with interesting things to do.
love the blog..keep it up. Identify with your struggles. It is easy to get consumed with others pain and sorrow even though you realize there is so little you can do.
We live in such a great place, the beauty, the beach; often takes away the pain just marveling in it. I often ruminate on the idea that simple "fate" means we are born Amercans, could have been otherwise. How fortunate. God bless all and us and "Merica."
I was thinking! Compasion, Love,
Family, Caring! What is the differnce. Everyone needs us, whether in person, spirt, thought, or prayer! Anonymous (2) said it all!! Love You, Love your blog, love your Husband, and Love your kids. Love you!
