Hard to be Thankful (Saturday)

It's so hard for me to be thankful when I know my two friends are exhausted from the turn of events with their new born son the past two days. Knowing they were switching hospitals to give their son a better change at life and I was home helpless ate at me all day. It was such a disheartening feeling. I wish I could change it or heal their son Max instantly. God has his way of reminding us to be thankful and to not take for granted what we have been given. This may not be a child for me and Josh, but it was a numerous about of things throughout my day. I woke up this morning, I worked with my softball players (not with the volleyball coaches liking) this morning and evening running a dance. These girls are awesome! I got to spend the day caring for my healthy niece Paige. Soon she will be too big to hold and feed. I got to have lunch and run to Target with my best friend who is so understanding of my day with Paige. We started our fall/winter tradition of buying a bag of holiday M&Ms and eating them in the car! Man, they were good! I sure am lucky for my day.

I wish I could help Beth and Shannon more than just hourly prayers. Their situation gives me more of a wake up call to truly be thankful for the simple everyday things in life!
