Choices


It's a cozy Sunday morning.  Daddy is still snuggled up in bed, Mommy has been curled up on the couch reading, and baby Lana has been playing on the floor.  As I sit here, it's as if time is standing still.  Lana is playing with the blinds, trying to hint at me to pull them up so she can look outside.  I do and sit back on the couch.  We both stare outside at the big fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky.  As I sit on the couch I look at my surroundings.  Toys dispersed all over the floor, baby girl with her nose pressed against the cold window starring at the beauty outside,  music softly playing in the background, candle flickering.  Thankfulness floods my heart.  Life can get so busy and life can just go by.  I'm sure there are many things I could stop and think about right now that could make me unhappy, but everyday I am faced with a choice.  And today my choice is to sit here and dwell in the beauty around me.  Lana make sure you stop often and look around.  Look at all the beauty that God has blessed you with and focus on that.


 
Picture of the Day
March 4th, not the easiest day that I've ever had. :) But wow look at the outcome! So thankful for a beautiful, spirited little baby and for a husband who gives his all to Lana and I.
