Kids

I have two kids of my own. An almost two year old and a brand new baby. I was recently reading a blog and was reading a story of a mom who lost her baby. The sad part was my baby was born 7 days later. It makes me wonder that even though I had a very difficult pregnancy. Why did God gift me with my little boys and take the lives of others? I constantly ask God that very question. I use to always complain that why did I have two boys when all I wanted was a little girl. I don't ask that question anymore! I have come to realize that there are many people in this world that would give anything to hold there baby for more than just a couple days or maybe even just a few seconds. I should be grateful that God has blessed me with two handsome little boys everyday. I should wake up in the morning and say " Thank you God for my awesome little boys." I guess I was just so sick that I didn't know how to tell God I was thankful or maybe I just needed to say I don't understand know but hopefully one day I will. The bible says in James 4:14. Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. Which to me means you don't know what will happen tomorrow or even if you will have it, so be thankful and do your best with what u have today. So be thankful for what u have. What is hard for me to remember is that in the bible it also says that in everything give thanks. So when you look at what God has given you tell him THANK YOU.
