What is a blessing?
The words of faith and hope a pastor speaks over a person?A prayer?
A wonderful happening in your life?
Family and friends?
Something beautiful and more than words can describe?
Sometimes blessings are not wrapped up with a pretty bow. The biggest “blessing” in my life is actually wrapped in plain paper with a worn bow.
It’s actually pretty ugly when you get down to it.
Hemophilia.
I believe that people afflicted with a bleeding disorder, or any chronic condition are pretty amazing. They are resilient and stronger than many.
The beauty of the blessing of hemophilia is in the actual “unwrapping” of the present. It’s about the journey. The people whose paths you would have never crossed. The places to travel to learn. The confidence in sharing with another mom. And the strength it has brought to my marriage.
I am making the most I can of this blessing everyday with every breath I take. I thank God for blessing me with my boys and their condition. It has made me stronger than I ever dreamed I could be.
What’s your biggest blessing?
