Five days ago I gave birth to a healthy (and big!) baby boy. It's a blessing.
It also means lots of adjusting for everyone, and lots of sleepless nights for mommy and daddy.
And every day since we've been home from the hospital, we have been blessed by the love and service of others who are caring for us by bringing us meals to help alleviate the "things to do" on our list every day.
I cannot even adequately begin to express my gratitude for these wonderful people who so abundantly bless our lives. With post-pregnancy hormones raging through my body, the truth is I get choked up when I think about how much this service has meant to our little family. Truly these wonderful people exemplify Christ-like love. Their generosity has been enormous. And there truly are not words enough to thank them.
I know there are others more needing and more deserving of this service. But it has been so wonderful to have one less thing to think about these days.
And just as I'm thankful to be receiving this service at this time in our lives, I'm thankful that I have opportunities to serve others when they are in need. I'm grateful to be able to help, even in a small way. And I'm grateful that, through receiving the service we are receiving, we have an even better appreciation for and desire to do such service to others -- for we know what a blessing it is.
So to all you wonderful people (some of whom may read this and others who may not), thank you. Thank you for blessing our lives.
What are you grateful for today?
