When I came downstairs this morning the living room was trashed! Empty glasses, bowls, and plates littered the table tops. Game controllers were everywhere, open bags of chips were on the floor and on folding table, and than there was just stuff strewn about. When I went to bed last night the room was in order...WHAT HAPPENED?
Well my family happened. My first response was a growl....how lady like ;). As usual the Holy Spirit sent me a little reminder to get over myself.
How many people get exactly what they ask for in life? Well when I was growing up I didn't care if I ever had a fabulous career or if I ever did anything that changed the world. I just wanted a family. I not only have a family, but I have a really great one.
Having a great family doesn't mean letting them take advantage  so this is what will greet them as the enter the living room this morning.  I taped it so that they would have to duck under it as they go into the Living room ;)

I am so blessed and yet I seem to grumble about my family a lot. They have their flaws, but I have TONS. I need to spend more time counting my blessings and noticing the really awesome things about each one of my family members instead of focusing on their flaws.

I love being a wife, I love being a mom, I love being a daughter and a sister. Families really are a blessing and I LOVE mine!
