Blessed

Sometimes, it is hard to remember how blessed you are. Other times, like tonight, it's easy. Like when my two oldest are huddled around the CD player after dinner singing hymns. Like when I watch Carmen walk over and kiss Zoya lying on the floor. Like when my whole family starts dancing to a favorite song. Like when Zoya decides to sleep ALL the time :). Like when Turi apologizes for a wrong to Tihi without any reminder or look from me. Like when my kids ask me to pray with them, read to them from Martin Luther or tell them a story from the Bible.
God has been very good to us. Sometimes having 5 kids in 20 months can seem overwhelming. But other times, like tonight, I would have it no other way.
