Heart of Thanks: Day 6

DAY 6

Man what a day! 

Spent the morning preparing for Zayne's Birthday Party and just acting silly with my kiddos--- sometimes you have to SLOW DOWN in life! :) 

I got my run & workout in after 8pm -- late, but it's done! Worked with the 8 & 15 weights --- and the Lunge Row Curl move was ROUGH! Could be that I was tired, but *whew*!!! 

No excuses, do it anyway! 

It's that simple. 

Press play.

Because it's his birthday, My Heart Focus today has been on Zayne! 

I am thankful for 6 years with my sweet, loving Zayne. He's my sweetheart little boy who loves to show his love for life. If he says it once, he will say it a million times- He loves you! He's tender hearted and hot headed rolled into one dynamite package. He keeps me guessing at everything, and reminds me over and over again just how wonderful it is to be a mom.

Time absolutely FLIES. 

I'm thankful he's "carrying on" the Williamson name. He's a "namesake" for great men... Zayne (his PawPaw! form of John, "God is gracious, merciful"), Joseph (his Daddy, "God will Increase"), and Lee (his Daddy, PaPa Eddy Lee Williamson, Jr & great-pawpaw the late Mr. Eddy Lee Williamson, Sr.). 

This little mixture of just about everyone in our family has brought us so much Joy. God is truly gracious and merciful to give us such a bright, smiling little man! He's so loving and tells me "Mama, I love You!" at LEAST 20 times a day--- and I love it. He's growing to be such a fine young man, and I know as he grows, God will increase him spiritually as he grows into the ministry God has destined him for. He's my little man of God!

It was today, 6 years ago at 2:30am the Doctor rushed into my "observation" room and woke me and Joseph from a dead sleep to let us know we were heading to the Operating Room for an emergency C-Section to have Zayne - immediately. 

My BP had shot up in my sleep to a dangerously high number, putting both the life of my baby boy and myself at risk.

Zayne was born at exactly 3:34am this cold morning 3 years ago.

Today I am thankful for all the healthcare providers who fight so diligently to care for those in need. I'm thankful for the sacrifices of nurses, doctors and surgeons, who don't see it as a "job" but as mission, to be a help, to save lives... To make a difference. 

As Christians, let us never take for granted the "job" we were placed here to do. We must see this as the mission it is, to reach this dying world. 

Have a Beautiful Day!!
