Please Pray for Baby Stellan!!

I love turkey (well, not so much turkey) & dressing and all the fixings. I make dressing for Sebastian & I all the time. We don't keep it a "Thanksgiving only" kind of meal, nor should we keep the appreciation, graditute or "giving of thanks" to this once-a-year holiday. As I was updating myself on all my favorite blogs, I was devasted to hear about poor Stellan and his heart problems. He had miraculously escaped tragic death in utero, no doubt, by the hand of God and now he fights again. I just wanted to post a short blog urging everyone to pray for baby Stellan and am dedicating this post to him, may we all remember to be thankful everyday for the blessings that encompass us.

What am I thankful for?

• being healthy and happy, having all my senses, being able to see & hear my little boy playing and laughing, feeling his fingers wrap around mine, tasting his sugary candy kisses
• having a strong, healty little boy, full of energy and life, whose sparkling eyes melt my heart, his dimples tickle my toes and his laughter brightens my world - he's my world, my light, my air, my everything
• my husband, Mom, Dad, sisters, nieces & nephews - they, too, are my world, my support my confidence, my happiness
• i'm thankful we have a roof over our head, food in our bellies, more conveniences that we deserve
• i have a wonderful job, although sometimes stressful & overwhelming, it brings me great joy to be able to serve our communities, bringing assurance to someone's life they may not have had before
• i'm learning to appreciate the world in it's simplicity...green grass, blue skies, fluffy white clouds, birds chirping (or woodpeckers pecking in our case)
• i'm thankful for having love in my life and being able to share it with others as well as so many other emotions....hope, faith, fear, anger, excitement
• for living in this country, having the freedoms that so many others in this world have died for
• my friends, especially Sarah, for being there to share my thoughts and laugh with, no judgments or expectations, dependable, honest and trustworthy, just good times and somewhere to turn to when you just need a shoulder or just need to vent

I could go on & on & on, but I think I'll end hear as the one thing I'm most thankful for needs to eat, bath & get ready for bed. I'm praying for you little Stellan!
