I just finished reading about the earthquake in China that has killed thousands--perhaps as many as ten thousand. People in the town of Dujiangyan are mourning after a school collapsed on the town's children. Few survived. Read about it, look at the wrenching photos of parents, agonized with grief, and I know you'll feel the same. Those poor people. I feel so lucky today for my healthy, happy child. It's a beautiful day and we have everything we need...and then some.

I
feel
the
same
about
the
pictures
I've
seen
from
Iraq.
I
have
one
on
my
fridge
of
a
soldier
carrying
a
wounded
child.
The
thing
that
gets
me
is
the
caption
that
reads
"fatally"
wounded.
The
heartbreak
in
that
photo
for
me
symbolizes
the
losses
of
children
all
around
the
world.
Think
I'll
hug
my
son
a
little
more
tonight.

We musn't take for granted the grace God provides for us everyday. Every night when my husband and pray together we thank the Lord for all the mundane things most others take for granted.
We also make sure we eat dinner together every night as a family. It's the little things that will amount to big things later when your children get bigger.
We are never promised tomorrow so we shouldn't take today for granted.
