Some perspective

As our family deals with its own challenges right now, I was given a tender mercy yesterday. My friend Emily has a daughter who was diagnosed with autism a year ago. She blogs regularly about their journey (and also her delicious and healthy recipes), and she always has such an amazing way of putting words to the emotions we feel. She just wrote a birthday tribute to her sweet three year-old and if you need to see your problems in a proper light and to be thankful for your blessings, this post will do it. While all our trials are unique and important and carry weight, and we should never feel like our challenges don't matter because someone else has it harder than us, it doesn't hurt to be reminded of the blessings of the trial. Thanks, Emily.
