So for the past couple of weeks I have been such a "Debbie Downer" to Jon. Why? Well, because I feel like ALL of our friends have bought houses except for us. (and we are one of the only married couples) Maybe I have been a little ahem a LOT green with envy. I know we will eventually get our own home, but it still stinks to see all you friends with these INCREDIBLE new homes. While I should be HAPPY for them I can't but help find myself being ENVIOUS.
But tonight..God reveled to me why he has us here at Nats.
Why you might ask?!
Because He has given the amazing blessing of being able to spend quality time with my nephew and niece.
Tonight Kemp and I sat on the back deck just the two of us. We were eating popsicles and just chit chatting. As we were sitting there he just looked up at me with his big brown eyes and said "Cutie, I love you." Just in the middle of our chat. As I sat there I almost started crying. It hit me like a ton of bricks. These are the SPECIAL times that I will NEVER forget. I will always cherish these times I have spent with them. These are the times that I will reflect back on and will remember more than anything.Especially with Kemp. Just because he is a little older. He is truly one of the sweetest boys in this world.
So, THANK YOU GOD for allowing me to have these special times with my niece and nephew. This is the BEST gift anyone could ever give me.
Blessings and Peace,
