Day 4 & 5 of Blog Challenge

Yes, I missed my first blog post yesterday! It's hard for me on the weekends, because I usually stay pretty busy and when I'm not at work, I'm not at the computer much since my job involves being on a computer all day, plus...I've been taking care of my little boy while he is overcoming a cold so it's been a little crazy...please forgive me...I will put yesterday and today's post into one.

Day 4: If you could rid the world of one thing, what would it be?

This is a tough one...I first thought, I would rid the world of evil and then asked my husband what he would rid the world of, and he said he would rid the world of racism and that if the world had no evil, then we wouldn't know what "goodness" was...which made me change my mind...so, I think if I could rid the world of one thing, I would rid the world of hate. I feel like if there was no hate in this world, that a lot of things would be different. If we could all learn to love each other regardless of race, culture, beliefs, opinions, lifestyle, age, size, etc or what someone could do for us and learned to love each other the same way Christ loves us, everything we know would change for the better and we would would live "Heaven on earth". War would be no longer...strife would be non existent. I am constantly asking God to help me love those that are hard to love and to help me love others the same way He loves them...it is a hard thing to do sometimes, but with God, anything is possible...and with that, I will end off with my favorite scripture on LOVE :)

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

Day 5: Post of picture of something or someone that made your day feel special.

Well, every day...my little family makes me feel special in one way or another, but tonight, as I watched my son being held by one of my closest friends in the world, and he slept on her chest during worship at church, I was just so overwhelmed by my love for my sweet baby. I was brought to tears as I stared at his angel face and saw the innocence on him. Just made me feel proud to be his mom, but also scared for him to find out how this world really is as he grows up and experiences things...I want to protect him from it all, but know that I can't...I will just do my best to raise him in a Godly home showing him love and protecting him from what I can, and just trusting God with the rest...so, today, my son, Liam made me feel special...like he does every day...but just a little extra special! :)
