Blessings

I was just thinking the other day how BLESSED my kids are to have AS MUCH AS they do. Now, Aaron and I don't "SPOIL" them but they are blessed little girls. I just remember thinking that when I was a little girl, I did not have ALOT of doll's, a doll house, special outfits and 2-3 pairs of shoes for a season. They have alot more material things and I know these things are not important but I will get to my point in a second.....let me just add that alot of these items they have, have either been given to them, we brought cheaply at the thrift store or they just received it as a gift for Christmas. I still personally feel like they have an abundance of things. I'm glad in a way that they have more than I had when I was there age, makes me feel like we are doing okay for them as parents. I feel really blessed by that. Considering that we live off of one income and they are able to have what they need and a little more of what they want. They also have "two" parents that LOVE each other very much, one thing I. DID. NOT. have growing up. My mom was a single mom and we lived with my grandparents until I was 10 yrs. old. I feel blessed by that in itself that I was able to share that time with my grandparents but I still had a absent parent. I just feel The LORD has truly blessed Aaron and I with one another and we actually really are in LOVE and that within that we have given our children a 2 parent home. I'm not sure if people who live with 2 parents growing up will really understand that. Understand how very important that is to "especially" me that my children have two parents that Love each other and LOVE them but I feel blessed that is one thing my kids have that I didn't.


P.S. I have an amazing Step Dad who I proudly call Dad any day of the week. i heart him bunches.
