So when it rains it pours at the Pickett house and it has been raining for a long time. Not that I am complaining in this post. So, speaking of rain at our house, there is literally moisture coming from the ceiling into our down stairs bathroom and garage. Yikes! The signs have been there for almost a couple of weeks now and me being the crazy nut I am, just put 2 & 2 together last night. Plumbers came today and found the problem in our shower upstairs. Apparently it was a part that was guaranteed not to leak for life. Ha. At least the part was free.
So back to my point of posting. When one of the plumbers notices I have twins he says. "Twins huh? How did you get so lucky to have twins?"(It turned out he and his wife had twin boys first too.) In that moment something hit me, that for some reason through all my thankfulness, I still had not fully realized. How did I get so lucky? The words just seemed so powerful and it struck me that my Heavenly Father really loves me, is mindful of me, and gave me these two little boys not only as a trial of my faith and maybe to test my patience, but to bring me joy. And they have brought me more joy than I ever could have imagined. Heartache too, but we won't ruin the moment.
