What I used to view as challenging five years ago, now seems silly.
I take that back. What I viewed as impossible five years ago now seems completely possible WITH GOD'S HELP.
God has truly carried us through some difficult years and to be honest....they didn't seem all that hard because of the fact that we were carried through them.
Today I was just remembering back a year or two ago when the boys couldn't play with each other for more than 10 seconds without tears. That was an exhausting time.
I was remembering this as the boys kindly took turns passing a game back and forth with each other in the back seats of the car. (A) announced to me, "Mommy, I didn't want to share at first, but then I decided to share anyway!"
I was remembering this as we sat down to eat and instead of trying to make each other laugh and spit out water, the boys held a full conversation about different types of animals they might see in the jungle.
I was remembering this as we snuggled the boys into their beds....both with big smiles on their faces and that sweet look of contentment.
Yes, there were some challenging times and I am sure there will be more to come, but without them I would not be able to fully appreciate how good I have it at this phase in life!
What a blessing to be in a place where the good days far outnumber the hard days!
