Blessed: Today

Today

Today is the anniversary of the day I lost my first baby. Today is the anniversary of the day when my world crumbled around me.

Today is also my husband's birthday. While I will never forget this day from a year ago, today I choose to focus on the celebration of having my husband in my life. With him, I can get through today.

Today I'm reminded of how much I am blessed by a Lord who loves me and strengthens me and helps me to get through days like today.
