Full hands and full hearts!

I have 4 kiddos aged 7, 4, 2, and 1.  So I here "You have your hands full!" a lot.  It is very true that I have my hands full, but I wouldn't change it for the world!  I saw this inspiring  quote from oby and tara bennett parents of a child with severe disabilities. 

 Her story really touched my heart.  When ever I think I have my hands full I will remember how blessed I am to have health on our side.  Their blog is very inspiring to say the least.  Joy is in the journey and we will never get it all right or have it all easy here on this earth.

 This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot. ¹⁹Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God. ²⁰ They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart. Ecclesiastes 5:18-20


“Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.” Joel 2:23 NIV
