Sometimes I smile

God's blessings continue to bring a new smile to my face as I recognize his hand in the little and big aspects of my life.

Like those really bad days that I cringe and pray my way through? Yes, for only his grace and mercy get me through those times.

Or the really good days all snuggled up with my family picnicking inside while it storms outside.

Or the realization that though my children don't share genes, God placed them into this family by his incredible design. I am reminded of this so often.

The fact that they look alike, well that is just a happy little bonus!
