Count Your Blessings!

I am a part of a group on Facebook that is for breastfeeding mommies as well as mommy advice. There are over 26,000 members so there are A LOT of posts on there daily! Posts range from all over which is nice and makes for a fun day if I have time to look the posts over. Very entertaining!

Anyway, tonight I say a post with a picture of baby feet and I wondered what the post could be about so I clicked the picture. Well the mom was asking if her sons toes looked alright. That the second toe seemed to be shorter than the other toes. My first reaction was "Are you kidding me??!" To be honest I was a little upset that this mom had the nerve to post a picture about her son's almost perfect toes because one looked shorter than the others. I almost made a comment that was very rude and luckily I thought before I posted and decided it was a bad idea. I scrolled on and tried to forget about this mom's picture and question.

My night goes on and my son and I do our whole bedtime routine of a bath, food and then bed. Not once does this post cross my mind because I have forgotten all about it and moved on. Well I get on my computer after he is asleep and I am scrolling and there it is again!

** Let me just say, most of the time, I never see the same post twice from this group page because there are so many and that mixed with my friends; they tend to disappear. **

But! The picture was there and it had quite a few comments on it so of course I had to look. In my mind there was going to be a comment about how silly this mother was being and she needs to calm down. (Just being honest!) And there were no comments like that at all! Every mom said something about her son or daughters toes and there were quite a few pictures. At this point I got a little upset. Again, how could she worry about something so silly when my son doesn't even have toes! Maybe it was jealousy, maybe not, either way it upset me.

After thinking about how I could politely say that she is being crazy I commented on her post. I stated that she should count her blessings that her son has all of his toes and I posted a picture of my son missing his toes. Nothing has come of it and I don't expect it too with how people react in person but it just seemed silly.

Once I made the post I couldn't help but laugh at how silly this mom was! Needless to say I hope that my son having ABS made another mommy think and count her blessings that her child has all his toes.

With that said. I absolutely love my sons little toes and I went back into his room after all of this to just stare at his most perfect fingers and to give him a little kiss on his perfect little toes.

I have always heard "God only gives special children to special parents" and I hope that I can make that true. Maybe by calming down and making a light hearted post, my little guppy has changed another life. I know he sure has changed mine and I am forever grateful for that!


Just wanted to share a fun photo of my little guppy helping me with the laundry!



Have a Blessed Day!
