Speak of Your Gratitude

I've been going through some of the Bloggy Giveaway entries, and there are some cool giveaways with fun requirements. Unexpected Bliss has a beautiful print she's giving away. In order to win, you have to post a comment listing what you're grateful for. So, here's what I wrote:

Do I have to mention just one thing? I can't. So maybe that's what I'm most grateful for: having an abundance of blessings!
* Negative test results. * Baby belly laughs. * Health. * God giving me the blessing of holding my children each day, when others' arms are empty. * Freedom. * Babies who sleep through the night. * Buying breakfast for the car behind me at McDonald's. * The joy on my daughter's face when she steps off the bus and runs to my arms. * Knowing my husband's love is an extension of God's love for me, and that God put him in my life to show me what unconditional is all about. * Air conditioning. * Laughter. * Being able to remember certain things in my past without crying anymore. * Passion. * Faith. * Loyalty. * Amazing friends who come and go in my life and teach me more about myself. * Sacrifices my parents made that helped me become who I am today. * The ability to pay back the debt I owe my parents - but to pay it forward instead. And knowing that they're proud of me and watching over me.

Good night, y'all! Sweet dreams...

There are so many things I'm grateful for. We were at a baseball game the other night and we saw a mother walking her son by. He was in his 20s, I would guess and had Downs. I just looked at hubby and said how blessed we are. Our children are happy and healthy. One has a genius IQ and the other is beautiful. Who needs money when you have family?
