God is good

I love blogs. I like having mine so that I can write down my thoughts for others to see because let's face it, I tend to be a bit opinionated. :) Another reason that I love blogs is because they give you a glimpse into another person's life that you may otherwise not see. I think it is really important that we remember to think about others more than we think of ourselves.

For instance, today I read a blog of some acquaintances from my hometown. They recently had a baby that is going to need some surgeries quite quickly in his young life. I know a lot of people would find this overwhelming, but this couple does not. They see God's hand in this. They see how this struggle has brought them closer to the Lord. They feel it has shown them just how deep God's love is for His children. That's a pretty awesome example to be able to read. And I'd like to be able to comment and tell them how proud I am of them and that they're in my prayers, but sometime you're reading people's blogs who do not really know you anymore and that would perhaps creep them out! It makes me so thankful for people linking to other people's blogs! :)

I also got the news today that one of my good friends from college is pregnant! YAY! I won't release her name in case she's not ready for that, yet. I feel like EVERYONE is either pregnant or just had a baby right now. I'm not pregnant. I will not be for a long time. That being said, I am pretty excited to spoil their children. I think buying baby gifts is pretty fun! :) I thank God that my friends who desire to be parents have been blessed with that gift. I also pray that they see it as a special responsibility given to them by God because it definitely is.

Anyway, I had a few things on my mind today that reminded me how good God is and I wanted to share. I hope you're all having a good week. Bring on October 15th- I'm ready to be finished with tax returns for a few weeks! :)
