Overjoyed & Overwhelmed with Thankfulness

Even now as I think about writing this post I am brought to tears. I am so overwhelmed with emotion and thankfulness. Just less than two weeks ago our son was born. We had no idea he was a boy, and having a girl already we had no boy clothes and very little neutral clothing. I knew he wouldn't care if he wore yellow, green, or white clothes for the first few months of his life until I was able to get some "boy" clothing for him. We know families that were willing to offer hand-me-downs if we did have a boy, again he'd have something. I was just cleaning his room yesterday and realized how God has been providing for us...abundantly! Prior to cleaning and organizing his room, it looked like a storage closet. There were clothes every where. As I sorted through it all, I realized how much this little boy had! We have been blessed by people bringing meals, clothing, diapers, providing financially, and giving of time for us. It's in these moments I wonder why I doubt my Heavenly Father. He has proven once again He provides. I am so overcome by the generosity and love people have been showing us. Although I rejoice in this, I am saddened by the times I haven't responded to the tugging on my heart to bless others, and stop being so near-sighted. I hope that I am reminded of these moments when God whispers in my ear to help someone in need. Thank you to you all for being so open to hearing God's voice.
