Extraordinary Moments
My status on facebook today is that I'm thankful for being able to see the extraordinary blessings in my ordinary days!! That's what motivated me to start this blog! I know that lately, I have not been motivated to update as frequently as I had in the past. My life has changed over the last 6 weeks, but in a way that has changed me forever!! God has blessed us beyond anything that we deserve, but I pray that I continue to see His blessings and thank Him for all that He has provided in our lives.
Today, I was invited to do some errands and a little shopping with Megan and Jackson. We also made a trip to visit Santa. It was a 1st and I was thrilled be apart of the "encounter". I can't describe what this child has done to our lives. We think and act differently....like that's a change LOL!! I've changed....for the better, and I hope and pray I continue to evolve into the Mimi that God intense for me to become.
The change....awww yes, in this time of life, change is a word the conjures up hormonal issues, more than what I'm describing right now. The change has been when we don't see Jackson for several days, our (Jim's and mine) hearts ache. I battled a cold last week and didn't see him for several days. Yesterday, I had him in my arms and just took him and smelled him!!! My heart melted and my eyes filled with tears. That's my extraordinary moment time in an ordinary day. I'm so thankful for this change!!! Below is a picture of his visit to Santa. It's a bit early, but Jackson's parents are wise and decided that now is a good time before too many crowds are at the Mall. Jackson is 5 1/2 weeks old and we can not imagine our lives without him in it.
May you find many extraordinary moments in your ordinary days and realize that they are personal blessings from God. This moments remind me that God is always there for me, during the good, the bad, and the expected and unexpected times.

Tears...I love reading about your love for Jackson and how his life has changed yours. What a great reminder for me to "find many extraordinary moments in your ordinary days and realize they are personal blessings from God." Too many days go by in a whirlwind for me and I know I don't take the time I should to see my blessings and extraordinary moments.
Much love!

Lisa, Thank you for your kind words and I too have times of rushing through my weeks...but though there is more to do in a day, Jackson has slowed me down, to stop and smell the roses, so to speak.
Funny, after I wrote this recent post, I realized that I spoke of this enjoying of the small things several times.
I am finding that when I was a mother, I rushed more times, than I really needed to and I didn't see all the blessings of an ordinary day. I hope to show our children as they are parents and become parents, that it's okay to stop and just enjoy....God provides these opportunities for us to see Him working in our lives.
Love to you and yours. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
