I often joke that I am the unluckiest person you will ever meet. I have never won a single contest, raffle, or anything of that nature. If something is going to go wrong, it will usually happen to me. I shouldn’t complain though because I am lucky in one aspect of my life…love. I sure am lucky to have my boys. Jasper and Josh both make me laugh every single day. I also have lucked out in the family and friend department. My parents are pretty much the greatest. They would do anything for us.
I recently got together with an old friend from college. It has been eight years since we’ve hung out and it was just like no time has passed. We stayed up late looking through my scrapbook from college laughing about our good times. It is kind of amazing to go that long without spending face-to-face time with someone and being able to pick back up.
Josh and I also joked that we won the neighbor lottery when we bought our house. Our next door neighbors have turned into fabulous friends that we really enjoy spending time with. Ranee and I got together last week with some coffee and commiserated our lack of money. Brandon is building Jasper an amazing swing set for free, we only have to pay for the materials.
Today I received the camera ring I had been lusting after. I don’t know who it was from as there was no note but I wore it all day smiling when I saw it. Last week the mail brought a Starbucks gift card from one of my blog readers. It said to drown my sorrows in coffee, signed a loyal reader. I was excited just with the fact that I had a “loyal” reader but now we can get coffee this week!
And a huge thing… Josh and I received a note from someone anonymously with some cash tucked inside. I cried when the money fell out. That someone felt they wanted to do that for us….well, I’m blown away. I was able to pay a couple more bills and have a little less stress this week.
So I may have the worst luck with everything else but at least I have love. And lots of it.
I got tears reading this entry Kimberly! I’m so glad you have been smiling more this week. And glad you didn’t go through with that idea of discontinuing your blog!
so glad to hear :) blessings of life can overwhelm at times, such a good overwhelming.
Kimberly its cause you are an awesome person! you would do the same for any so of course people will do it for you!!
Reading this reminded me of when someone said at a conference we went to: “God has the check written, he’s waiting on Faith to pick it up.” Your faith held true. Keep the spirits up!! :)
Amen. I’m glad that there have been some rainbow sightings in your world this week. You deserve it!
