Hold your little ones

Yesterday was a hard day. Raelyn constantly cried and slept a total of an hour, so I couldn't seem to get a break. Steven was at school almost all day, so the day seemed endless. All day today I have been thinking about that one happy moment that I could share with you, and it wasn't coming. I didn't  just want to put something down that I didn't really mean. I mean I guess I could write anything and you would never know! :)

I didn't know what to write until I read another mom's blog. She wrote about her son who has a heart condition, so he doesn't have long to live. I just wanted to cry. I then realized that I had a lot of reasons yesterday to appreciate Raelyn. She is healthy. The Lord blessed me with a healthy baby, and that's something I thank Him for everyday, but maybe I don't necessarily cherish it as often as I should. I know that we all have different trials and hardships, so one person's trials does not diminish our own. I believe that's why we are all here for each other, to lift each other's burdens, and support one another in or trials.

So, my happy moment yesterday is knowing that my baby is healthy. She also is getting better at not whining while we try to feed her baby food. She use to get frustrated so easily and throw a fit, but she is getting better and better every time.

Hold your little ones a little tighter tonight.
