Good Things

New Work, "Psalm 139:14", 30x40 Canvas

Unfortunately, it's way too easy for me to get discouraged when I'm the midst of dealing with back pain.  So, today I thought I'd write about all the good things that are in my life even when I'm in so much pain.

1.  My husband loves and supports me in such incredible ways.  Today I found his "To-Do" list on the fridge.  It said, "Chores: Pick up house, cook dinner, do dishes, do laundry."  It seems like a silly thing to get sentimental over, but he tries so hard to pick up the slack when I'm unable to do everything I'd like to.

2.  My sweet baby is the most amazing lil' angel.  He is so happy and playful.  This morning, he laid on my chest for about 20 minutes, just snuggling.  He is an extremely active little guy, so this was no less than a miracle and it made my spirits soar.


3.  Sitting is the worst possible position for me when I'm having back problems.  The best position is laying down, but that's not really possible with my son crawling around.  So the next best position is standing... and if I'm able to stand then able to paint!!!  Thank you Lord!!!
