The last month was full of the unexpected. As I was heading up to Idaho on Tuesday a few weeks ago I found out my Aunt's home had a fire. I went by the home and wanted to cry. My Aunt Darla and family have a beautiful home (their dream home) and it was burnt beyond repair. They are going to have to tear the home down and rebuild. As I went to comfort my Aunt and her family, I was the one who was comforted by their cheerful spirits. Leave it to my Aunt Darla to crack jokes with everyone around. I can only imagine how devastating that must be for their family. The good thing is that no one was home so no one was hurt. The items in the home can be replaced, but your loved ones can not.
One of my high school friends delivered her baby girl early and she passed away within a couple days. Her name was Hadlee LeAnne Rackham. I am SO heartbroken for my friend and her cute family. Losing a child is one of the most difficult things I can imagine in this life. I was only 8 weeks pregnant when I lost my first baby and I was devastated without even seeing the baby. I wish that I lived closer so that I could comfort my friend and her family. I hope that as you read this you say a little prayer for the Rackham family and hold your babies close and thank God for their existence.
Seeing these tragic situations helps me feel thankful for all the blessings that I have in my life. I have a warm roof over my head and a cute little boy to snuggle with everyday. I have been so caught up in what is going on in my life that I have not taken the time to look around and see who in my life I can serve. For the remainder of the month I am going to do my best to seek out opportunities to serve others.
