Lately I have been so stressed out about the future. So many things are up in the air right now and I can't help but worry. But I have a sink full of dirty dishes, and for that I am so grateful. Especially thinking back to when Kevin was laid off, right after the birth of our second child, and when I had to have 2 major surgeries within three months, one the week before Christmas. I remember when Kevin and my diet consisted of ramen noodles, so that we would have enough for our girls. Even then, I was still so grateful that we had something to eat. And though it's still hard for me to admit, we had to accept help from people, and I am so incredibly grateful for the strangers that reached out to us. We got diapers, and wipes and formula from people we didn't even know. After Khloe was born, she needed special formula because she had some kidney issues, so she needed extra of some vitamins, and less of another. It was not cheap, and I remember someone bringing us a bag of four containers of the super expensive formula.
The most enormous blessing is when Kevin's boss who had to lay him off gave him a Christmas bonus, and we were able to get a Christmas tree.
So, today, I am forgetting about my worry, and focusing on the gift God has given me. A sink full of dirty dishes.
