Count Your Blessings


It is so easy to get down on the little things in life. To overreact over something small or get stressed out over things that really aren't that important. It seems we don't take time to count our blessings. I know God has blessed my life tremendously and I also know I am so unworthy of all these blessings. I am so grateful for all that he has done for me. I got to thinking about this topic when I heard some news about one of my highschoool classmates. Jenni Bayless has a son who is just a tad younger than Treyton. Her son, Granton, is suffering from an immune diffiencey disorder. Their little 6 month old is fighting for his life. One thing I have loved through reading their blog is their incredible faith. They are so strong and putting it all in God's hands. There's no better place to put it! I still can't imagine what they must be going through and it reminds me of how blessed I am to have three healthy happy boys. Hopefully the next time they are fighting, screaming, throwing tantrums, and what not I can just pause for a minute and remember what a blessing it all really is. Please keep baby Granton and his parents in your prayers. http://grantonbayless.blogspot.com/
