3 things

I usually struggle with grateful posts because well I don't trust the universe some of you may understand what I am saying.   I believe in God and I have some faith but I am still leary on being hip hip horay thankful because I am scared it will all get taken away from me.  Yup irrational, yup you can talk to me until you are blue in the face on how God doesn't work that way or the universe doesn't work that way but it is my thing.

However a few things have happened in the last week that make me feel blessed

1. Easter got kind of screwed up this year my mom had taken a pretty decent fall a week or so previous and was all casted up. She said she felt up to hosting but then called the day before saying she didn't feel well and didn't want to try and hurry up to feel better.  So my husband and I were on our own. We were okay with this but not excited about just hanging out just the 2 of us.  We went to church on Easter Sunday and after service on of our friends stopped us and asked us if we would like to join them for a BBQ.  They invited our pastor and her family as well as a few more people.  So here we were with no plans oh and did I mention that is was the anniversary of our second miscarriage?  These people had no idea but just wanted to hang out with us on Easter. My heart was so full.

2. Ooops I didn't do this in order  the day before Easter we went to go see my husband's grandmother. She had purchased a DNA kit for the both of us for a christmas present and we finally got the results back.  We wanted to share our results with her. It was a great visit she was very lucid and she invited us to stay for dinner. She lives in a retirement home so we joined her in the dining room. We sat in the wrong spot but she overcame this small hassle very nicely. What a great visit.

3. This past Sunday we attened church our youth pastor (the one at the Easter BBQ) gave an amazing sermon which brought tears to my eyes.  I was still recovering from her sermon as I walked out after the service so when she shook my hand she just looked at me.  The truth is I wasn't doing that well I had a tough week at school.  My brain was on overdrive playing the what if game and the "less than" game. I didn't want to stop though I just wanted to go home.  40 minutes later a text from my pastor "are you guys okay you didn't stick around for coffee hour"   What????  How blessed my pastor who was running around packing for a trip stopped to check in and make sure we were okay.
I explained I would be find that her sermon was amazing and brought tears to my eyes but to have a nice vacation and I would see her soon.  Her text back was equally as heartwarming thanking us for our friendship and making her and her family's stay and move from CA so easy.

So there you have it 3 things that happened that I am thankful.  

p.s. just as a concidence I am sure as soon as I wrote thankful my computer turned off, :)
