Urgency

I woke up this morning at 245 with an overwhelming urgency to contact my Husband. 

It wasn't a gut feeling per se, but it was definitely strong

I didn't want to regret not doing so later, and since I was wide awake, I got up to check if I could get a hold of him online. 

No such luck; but I did have a very short, very charming email  from him awaiting me in my inbox. 

Have you ever just felt so lucky in your life that you don't know how to express your gratitude appropriately?

Lately, it is so apparent to me that my situation warrants some type of "giving back" for all that I am blessed with. 

I mean, sure I pray and thank the Lord everyday for the wealth he has bestowed on my life (not monetary necessarily, but a definite abundance in wonderful people, situations, and experiences). 

But is that really enough?

I am not sure how and I am not sure exactly when, but I want to do something with my life to show my appreciation for the incredible life I have been given.  I want to give back the way I have been given to, share the way that I have been shared with, and love the way I have been given love. 

Maybe I should pray for guidance on that in addition to being thankful.......

  1. I figured I should let you know I stole something from this post yesterday.

    "Have you ever just felt so lucky in your life that you don't know how to express your gratitude appropriately?"

    Yes, I have, and that's almost exactly what I wanted to say but didn't know how to even articulate THAT. :) Thanks!

  2. I do not mind at all...I am glad that I was able to help out. AND I am also glad that you have been able to experience such a wonderfully overwhelming feeling of appreciation for life; that is a BEAUTIFUL thing!
