Something is in the air

We are having a heck of a storm tonight. It's so nice because it reminds me of home, summer thunderstorms. The boys are asleep IN THE SAME ROOM!! HOORAYY!! I hope that this becomes even easier, because it was quite hard tonite, either screaming or playing came out of their room for an hour ;-) Oh what memories I have to tuck back.

I'm so thankful for my family and I'm so thankful for my friends.
I have been taking time to reflect on life tonite, listening to the sound of the rain and thunder and the quiet hum (YAY) of my dishwasher, and how it's going for me.
I have to say pretty darn good, God is really blessing our family.
I pray everyday for our safety, happiness, and a good life, our friends and our family, and thankful that we live in America and don't know what it's really like to be hungry, cold, or hot. We are so grateful and it can easily be taken for granted. The little things don't mean a lot, they mean everything.
My boys, well really Caden ;-), pray for each of our friends. Every night we name off the mommies, daddies, brothers and sisters of friends, our aunts, uncles, cousins, grannies, grammys, and papas and pets too of the family prayed for ;-)I really need to record his sweetness and his sincerity.
I may have had a few bumps along the road lately, but I know my heart, God knows my heart, and if you don't know my heart by now then that's your problem (love my Pastor Storms).
I have nothing to prove, but to God himself.
I am a defender of all my friends to the end of time, a listener, a shoulder, a helping hand, a good laugh, a good cry, and I'm blessed to have my friends do the same for me.
Being a good friend means accepting of all faults and protecting each others hearts.
But a good friend never wrongs the other.
And if a good friend has wronged the other it's best to come clean so that relationship can be mended.
Lesson learned and moving on to those who protect me , even though I still protect those in my daily thoughts and prayers who don't protect me. Call me naive, but I can't change who I am and can be only proud to be forgiving.
There is no reward in negativity.
