Doubly Blessed

So, yesterday I got some great news. My best friend and his wife are now the proud parents of a new baby boy who came into the world at 10:30AM. I got the call later in the afternoon while I was at work and it literally took me about two hours to get my head back out of the clouds and able to concentrate on my work. We've been praying for them to be able to start their family for a long time and now that its happened I'm just so excited for them.

So today, I'm at the office again, yes, on Saturday, working on a project that's overdue. Well, trying to work. I've been here for almost two hours and haven't done a single thing yet. I'm working too hard and too much lately and I just can't seem to get started today. Just as I managed to start coding on the project, my cell phone rings again. This time it was my Dad calling to tell me that my sister and her husband are celebrating the arrival of their daughter at 6:30 this morning.

Wow! Less than 24 hours apart two families close to me have been blessed with new life! We've had many months to anticipate the births of these children and now God has delivered them both safely. I know that they will have great futures and I'm looking forward to watching them grow up. I'm very glad that I will get to be a part of their lives and know that, like with my nephews, I will be greatly blessed by these children.
