Emotions

Tonight I feel a bag of emotions... Not that unusual for me to be emotional and especially not when pregnant but tonight it's especially heightened.
This week has been tough already, two wonderful members of our church family plus a family friend are really struggling with cancer, I've visited the 2 that live here, one being in the hospice and the reality of life and death is raw...put on top of that funeral services that keep coming and the contrasting baby kicking inside and a son who took Forever to go to sleep, my emotions are all over the place.

This job is awesome...it's a real blessing to walk and sit alongside people in their joyous times and also in their darkest times but weeks like this do make you sit up and take notice of your own life..and it's exhausting!

So as we come half way through the week my challenge to myself for the rest of the week is to feel thankful for each and every moment I have, even when my son is driving me to distraction with insomnia, when the sound of the guitar is buzzing LOUDLY in my ears and when I am just too tired to paste on a smile I will give thanks for what I have and enjoy every moment of life...for life is precious.
