Perspective.

It's 10:06 pm.

I have spent the last 75 minutes paying various bills (yay, Christmas! And dentists! And cell phones! And cable television! And mortgages! And garbage pick up!) while listening to glorious Christmas music on my iPod.

I wrote out three checks to the hospital where I had Alec and the doctors who safely delivered him into this world and into our lives.

Grand total: $ 1,172.08. (And yes, we have good, mainstream health insurance who paid for the other roughly $7,000.00)

He is worth every penny.

I am thankful we have him; I am thankful we can pay for him; I am thankful that we are both healthy; I am thankful we are a family of five this Christmas.

God is good all the time.
