I have to say, when I woke up this morning I did not expect for it to be as good a day as it has turned out to be. I woke up so sick and had to cancel my appointment at my Chiropractor. All I wanted to do was sleep all day long but Hannah woke up early and was excited to be awake. Mommy, needless to say, was not! I put Hannah in the play yard so that I could lay down on the sofa. It wasn't long before she was standing up in the play yard crying at me to pick her up. I was on the phone with my mom at the time and started crying. When Hannah saw that I was crying she stopped crying and made happy faces at me.
Later this afternoon, after being a precious little angel and taking an extra long nap so that Mommy could do the same we both woke up and I felt a lot better. I set her down to play so that could get some stuff done. Eventually, I sat down on the sofa, she was on the floor in front of the tv playing with her cards. I called her and asked if she wanted some milk. She smiled at me and started crawling towards me. When she was close to me said looked up at me clearly said, "Mama". I was so thrilled! I couldn't ask for anything better today! Any remnants of feeling poorly vanished in that moment and I was overwhelmed with joy! What a wonderful day and so close to Mother's day as well- the best Mother's day gift!
As if that wasn't enough to be thankful for and joyous about... For the past few days Hannah has been thinking about standing on her own. She has been standing holding on to things, letting go and falling... well this afternoon she stood by herself for 5 whole seconds and sat down! I was so impressed! I could not believe my eyes!
Today has turned out to be a day full of blessings despite the way that it began. I guess it just goes to show that the Lord can turn any day around from being dreadful to wonderful in a matter of moments!
Praise the LORD for such days as these!
