The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews

Since I am now waking up twice a night and find myself wide awake sometimes, I am reading more. I just finished a great book titled "The Traveler's Gift" by Andy Andrews. It is a very easy read and encouraged me so much. I wanted to share one of my favorite parts. This section really made me think. As we have been anticipating Will's arrival, we have felt such abundance from God. I never want to forget to express my gratitude for this wonderful blessing God has given us.

Here is the part I loved..."My God has bestowed upon me many gifts, and for these I will remember to be grateful. Too many times I have offered up the prayers of a begger, always asking for more and forgetting to give thanks. I do not wish to be seen as a greedy child, unappreciative and disrespectful. I am grateful for sight and sound and breath. If ever in my life there is a pouring out of blessings beyond that, then I will be grateful for the miracle of abundance."

I hope this encourages you as much as it did me!

About 3 months left...

Our due date is 3 months from today. I know people say time flies, but time lately has flown more like the speed of light than the speed of sound. It has been a little harder to sleep lately and my feet get pretty swollen at night, but it has been a great pregnancy overall. We are putting the finishing touches on the nursery and getting excited about showers. I hope to get some reading done on how to help Will learn to sleep through the night and baby stuff overall. We would greatly appreciate your continued prayers for Will to be healthy and for the delivery to go smooth.

We will post pictures of the nursery when it's all done. We still have a little time. My goal is to have everything in order at least a month before his due date, that way we can rest as it gets close to his arrival. (at least that's my hope) If you know me, I always have a plan, but sometimes God has other plans, so we will see what happens. :)
