take time to smell the roses

Today the name of my blog is extremely appropriate. I've been babysitting for a family I go to church with. Lately, I have been getting asked to come more frequently I didnt know exactly why but i knew someone was in the hospital and in need of a liver. Over the past couple of days I have become more aware of the situation. This sweet mother, whose children I take care of, has been traveling to LA everyday to be with her sister whose sweet and innocent little 7 month old baby is suffering from a liver failure. I wish i could do more for these families during such a hard trial. I cant imagine this situation as a mother. Informing myself of the situation through blogs and facebook has made me feel so blessed to know that families are eternal. It also made me think how sometimes I argue with my siblings and parents. I need to "take time to smell the roses". not everyday is guaranteed and i dont want a day or life to pass and feel regret because of a way that i acted. I love my family and i am so grateful for them and everything they do for me. they are my best friends. I have the best family in the world.
pray for ruby!!
