completely thankful

Did you ever have a moment in your life when you are just thankful, plain and simple? Sometimes I think that we {or should I say I} get caught up in the trouble and turmoil of everyday life and lose sight of everything that God is doing. Sometimes life gets so busy that we truly lose the everyday joys. Today I talked to my friend Amy who just found out the AMAZING news that she is pregnant. I can't tell you how thankful I am. Amy and her husband tried for seven years for their first child and it took them seven years and several miscarriages to get pregnant with this one {she is finally out of her first trimester.} She has cried and cried for years for another baby and finally the Lord has given her and her husband this gift. I can't imagine the pain of losing child{ren} to a miscarriage. I can't imagine the pain of trying for seven years to get pregnant. My husband and I tried a year and it felt like ten. She is so brave. And, through all of this, she and her husband stood firm in their faith and trusted the Lord. The Lord is so good and I am so thankful for His answer to prayer!!!!!
