Blessed

Yesterday, Sunday, I got a glimpse of how blessed I am.
Dave and Hannah had softball yesterday so they went to early church. I took the boys to the 10:45 service.  Danielle and Andrew and Dillon and Annie were going to meet me there.  I dropped the boys off at class then walked  myself to the sanctuary.  As I walked I felt alone; Dave wasn't going to be waiting for me to go find seats.  I made my way through the sea of people in the foyer to enter the sanctuary; all along having mini anxiety attacks.  There were more people!  I looked up to see Danielle and Andrew already seated so I made my way up to them and took my seat.  Shortly after worship began, Dillon, Annie, Linda and Anthony found us and joined us.  At some point during worship, God allowed me to sit back and survey the situation.  Suddenly, all the people didn't matter!  I was nestled in between my two oldest children and their "significant others", Danielle's future husband and Dillon's future wife.  Realizing they are godly people; all of us are here together worshiping the same God. God has answered another prayer for me.  It's up to God to work out the rest in their lives but they have a good foundation to spring from; thanks to all the hard work from us, the parents by the grace given to us by God.  When I realized this I wanted to cry tears of joy, but I didn't. Just smiled a special smile of thanksgiving to God!
