Why Me?

Not sure if it is the time of year or just something that is always in the back of my mind but today it has been weighing so heavy on me. Do you ever wonder why God chose you to have the life you live?

Why do I have wonderful parents that always took care of me? That love me unconditionally? Why do I get to have an awesome husband that loves me the way I am, provides for our family without question or resentment, and is a fantastic dad? Why did God bless me with a beautiful boy to raise as my son? Did he know I would mess up daily? Why is there a perfect little girl I get to call my daughter? What did I do to deserve these blessings?

There are so many other people in this world suffering and have no one to love them or even meet their basic needs. So why did God choose me to live such a blessed life and not them? Something that I will always wonder!

It's been a great day!

Today was the annual livestock clinic that Lonnie puts on for anyone showing pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits, or chickens. He truly is in his element when he is working with new families and teaching them about his passion. I loved watching him talk to them all and teaching those kids about show ethics. When they broke into sessions, Lonnie took the swine kids all over the barn teaching them everything they need to know from unloading to cleaning up at the end of the day. More than anything, I loved seeing Garrett work right along with his dad. Those two worked seamlessly together and seemed to know what the other was thinking before anything was said. It was heart-warming seeing them work together. The sweetest thing was watching Guthri hang on his every word! She stood right next to him and spent most of the morning looking up at him and soaking it all in. Just too sweet!

We came home and just ate a quick lunch and then everyone just retreated into their own rooms and it was such a peaceful afternoon. Watched TV, took a nap, folded a little laundry and that is about it. Great day!
