I've said it before, but it bears repeating. Perspective is a gift. 
As it is so easy for me to get caught up in the negative...
Oh, I still feel awful. I just want to feel better.
Money is so so so tight. When is it never tight?
Ugh, time to cook dinner again.
Really, am I ever going to feel better again?
I have to pray intentionally that the Lord blesses me with the gift of perspective.
Sometimes I am gently brought to remember what I am blessed with. Like through this post.
And sometimes, upon hearing news of a dear friends pregnancy loss this week, it is a sad and heart breaking moment when I am faced with what reality could be. A reality I've gone through before.
Either way.
Perspective is a gift. 
And I've been given a healthy dose of it this week.
