A good day

I had a wonderful day today well rest of the day, the morning started off a bit rough. I had a few reasons for this. However I did not let that put a damper on the whole day, most of those things were not important and got figured out just fine. One of my best friends and her hubby came for a visit tonight I took them out for dinner, then we went to the mall. I decided that I wanted to get a fish again as my little Inky died last Fall. Pets are a wonderful thing to have, the people I live with have a dog and a cat and I think that they are both great animals. They have some pretty awesome personalities and well they are just too cute. I know I might be considered odd for that comment. I enjoyed having a fish for two years prior to my going to Calgary. I think that Inky was distressed with the move to my current home and having my leave him, but then again he was old for a fish and at the point that I handed him to my landlord's to care for I was surprised that he lived through that summer as well. Inky was dark blue and got lighter towards the end of his body. This is why he was called Inky he looked like an ink blot. I missed having something to care for and planned on investing in another fish, so this time I got a red male betta. Jenn says to call him Tangerine...I just think I might...I like it!

Think before you speak

Many of us say things that we later regret. My biggest thing that I detest people saying is be thankful you don't have children. There are so many people out there that would love to be able to have children, but just can't. They struggle with infertility or they just haven't had any luck, then there are those who are like myself single and wanting to be married before having children. I am 30 years old and yes my biological clocking in ticking and probably more rapidly as I age sadly. I would love to have children, they are so precious to me, so sweet and innocent at birth and then slowly but surely you see that little sinful nature come out of them....sorry mom I am guilty of this even today. It is hard and disappointing to parents when they see this in their own children but it is a fact of life. We are all sinners even if we are a part of God's family. What many parents need to come to realize is that they together with God created that little person. They are sooo unbelieveably blessed to be granted parenthood of that child. If you are one of these people that says you can have mine or better think twice about having children. Just pause for a moment and think about how hard it would be and how you would feel if you lost that child in a tragic accident or something horrific happened that none of us would even like to entertain the idea of. For all of you who don't have children yet, allow God to show you the creation that he has blessed others with in the time being. Love and embrace the children that are in your life. I have many children that I absolutely love to pieces and can never imagine my life without them. They are dear to me and I sure hope that they know it. Looking past the tempers, and disobedience that they have and remembering how much we are to cherish this little beings that grace our presence...this is stemmed from a brief conversation I have had with my landlord. I have always felt this way, but felt it was time to say something about it here.
