Recently my daughter and son-in law, along with his parents, took their two little boys to the pumpkin patch. Seeing pictures of them roaming around in the pumpkin patch made me think of all the things that I am grateful for. One of those things is family and speaking of family several months ago my daughter found out that she is going to have another baby. Recently I got to go hear the babies heartbeat with her and I felt so privileged to hear the sounds of life and again I was overwhelmed with all the things that I should be grateful for. I hope that as we enter this holiday season we take the time to count all the blessing we have in life. I know that I have started counting them even as we speak.
