It's the Simple Things

It's the simple things that can sometimes have the most impact on you. Today, I was reminded yet again of all of life's blessings. I was getting into my car while on my lunch break and saw where my four year old, James, had drawn little pictures on my nasty, dirty car. I couldn't help but to smile. Such innocence of a child. His little drawings might not seem like to much to the average person, but for a moment I was reminded of how much I love that little booger and what he means to me. I am so very blessed to have him in my life, but even more blessed to be called his Mother. Sometimes I literally feel as if my heart could burst from so much joy. There is never a dull moment. That sweet child of mine can light up my face like no other. In late March my baby boy turns five. FIVE! Sometimes I swear it seems like just yesterday Jeremy and I were picking out paint colors for his room. We were preparing for James to make his grand entrance. Sometimes I catch myself just sitting and starring at him from across the room. In a trance I go. I stand in awe in his presence. Simply captivated. He is mine, my Butterbean, my Miracle and even though nearly five years have come to pass since I first laid eyes on him, I still cannot believe he is mine. I thank God for those little moments, but even more, I thank him for blessing me with my son. Thank you Lord for all the little things-those precious reminders of all of life's blessings.
