Today the team mom of the soccer team called with bad news. #9 was already promised to another kid on the team before Lexi so we had to choose another number. Lexi was pretty disappointed with the news (as was I). Her second favorite number is 5, but that just wasn't going to cut it. So, I suggested 99. What's better than one 9? Two 9's!! Lexi is a happy camper again and I think she will have the highest number on the team now. :)
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
