I've seen this video a million times and I really don't know how I came across it this morning as I did my morning ritual--check email, blog stalk. But as I watched it again today, for the first time in a while, I bawled like a baby. Why? Well probably because 99% of the times since I've been pregnant I'm on the verge of tears. No, really, it was because I hope and pray so genuinely that Rory and I are able to teach our child how to love, how to serve and how to give to those less fortunate. I think that sometimes we forget those lessons ourselves but that is my prayer for our child. I remember when I went to Africa, my dad threw a fit. I was either going to die from AIDS or TB, or I was going to get eaten by an elephant, or I was going to catch some rare disease. But he let me go. When and if that situation comes for me and Rory and our child, we'll probably throw a fit too. But we'll hope he/she goes.

We are more blessed than we realize. I suppose your hope should be the hope for all of us and the children of the world, that we love and bring hope to those around us.
Amazing! Loved the video and yes we are all blessed more than we realize! Just getting out of bed everyday healthy is a blessing! Thanks for the chance to reflect on your thoughts today! Many blessings to you and Rory!!!:)
