The older I get the less I believe in "good luck." I have had "good luck" in my life. I've always been healthy, learning has come easy to me, my family is stable and I had a great childhood, my husband is really THE BEST, and my children have come into this world trouble-free. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I don't believe in "good luck" anymore because I don't think so many good things could happen to one person out of happenstance. I believe in grace from God.

There is nothing I could have done, consciously or unconsciously, that would warrant my good life. It is solely through a loving Creator that things work out. Now, as I say all of this I have to point out my latest grace:

We're having a boy! (But I'm not going to show you his stuff, just trust me, it's a boy!)


We did all the things you're "supposed" to do to have a boy-want details? give me a call-but I don't think it is ever really up to us. The Good Lord shared this blessing of one of his sons to be part of our family and we couldn't be happier.

He even crosses his feet like his dad does when he's asleep on his stomach!


How do you show gratitude for that?

Acknowledge the Power that allowed it.

Thank you God.
