February 21, 2015- Sweet baby blessings

I know it's been a few days since I've posted, but I have been thinking and reflecting daily about those things for which I am grateful.

On this day, I am thankful for God's most wonderful blessings- babies.  Not just my own (although my children are fabulous), but specifically for those little miracles that my friends and family have been blessed with.

Over the past few years, we have had friends who struggled with infertility and yearned for a baby of their own.  I've had friends that were caught off guard with a little "surprise." I have friends who are still doing IVF treatments and praying for a miracle.  But no matter how these sweet babies came to be, each one is truly a blessing.  They are each amazing little souls, each with a purpose and a plan for his or her life.  I'm just lucky to get to watch these little ones grow.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to giveyou hope and a future.- Jeremiah 29:11
