Fragile perspective…

I’ve been crabby today.

My kids were making me crazy.

Then I saw this: Kayleigh’s Story

Don’t click that link if you don’t want to cry…

Better yet, click it.

You’ll appreciate that your kids are running around screaming and whining and not sleeping…

My daughter doesn’t have those struggles.

Look at her…what do I have to be crabby about?

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you’re faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin’ till you find the window,
If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God’s grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

Before you do anything else today, pray for that baby girl. 
Then go hug your kids and anyone else you can find!

    I read Kayleigh’s story this morning and was very saddened to learn she passed away yesterday. God bless her and her family. My prayers and thoughts go out to them. My three year old stood next to me and wiped my tears as I read about this precious baby
