How strange to think that the last time I signed into blog land I was a Mama of one and now I am a Mama to two amazing sons! Overwhelmed that God would entrust us with such beautiful gifts. Truly our children are kisses from heaven.

Isn't it crazy how we could miss the gifts of today by worrying about problems that may or may not happen in the future?! The other day I began thinking about our return to Manila and the fact that we have to find somewhere new to live when we get there. Travelling all that way with 2 babies and then arriving and having no house to go to could be a bit hectic! As a mummy I'm just desperate to get our boys settled and into some kind of routine when we get back to the Philippines, but this is easier said than done without an actual home to go to. I haven't been upset thinking about it because I know God has always looked after us and He will continue to do so, but the situation was on my mind more than it probably should have been. As I was thinking about it, I looked across the living room and found our bare foot toddler with a box on his head and playing his own makeshift drum. There he was without a care in the world singing his wee heart out and banging a basin with wooden spoons!
What a reminder to enjoy the moment- count the blessings of today and not worry about the future!
A couple of weeks ago a friend who moved away from the Philippines to the Middle East posted the following on her face book page;
"HOME IS WHERE MY FAMILY IS"
Today I have thought about this over and over and find myself nodding in complete agreement. Home
is where my husband and boys are. It really is and I'm so thankful that
wherever we are on the globe- I am at home.
I am one very blessed woman! Thank you Jesus!
