In the Blink of an Eye

Wow, blogging 2 days in a row... I'm impressed with myself :-)

Today, I find myself in a spiritual state of mind and closer to God. I'm not really sure why, although I'm very thankful for it. I think maybe it's because of some stuff that happened yesterday. One of my Facebook friends posted a prayer request for her friend's little girl who is five years old. They just found out this week that she needs a heart transplant. Wow, doesn't that just stop you in your tracks. From what I've read, the little girl was born with a heart murmur, although there was no cause for alarm as this is quite common. She went for her regular check up in March and there was some enlargement of the heart so they did further testing. So, it's now May and they find out that she's in need of a new heart. What a life-changing month and a half, and so totally unexpected! My heart and prayers go out to this family. They live in Arizona, but will need to move to Los Angeles once she's on the "list".

Obviously, this kind of news always makes you think about your own life, and for all my complaining and whining about things, it all pales in comparison to what this family is facing. I thank God for reminding me that my life is so wonderfully blessed - and a husband with a broken arm, and a daughter who's beyond cranky in the morning, is NOTHING.
