Simply Thankful…

We spent 7 hours in the ER last night…

The call came at 6pm that our daughter, Hannah, had been kicked by a horse.   A high impact kick from a horse can be likened to a whack from a sledge hammer.   We loaded her up and off we went for x-rays.

Here is where thankful perspective comes in…

Badly bruised, but not broken. 

Hit on her thigh, not her head.

Surrounded by others, not working alone.

I would rather take a shaken, sore daughter to the ER and sit for 7 hours than endure 1 second of any of the “what if’s” that bounced around in my mind.

My husband, daughter and I were all together as we waited.  My daughter asked if one of us should have stayed home to care for the others.  Absolutely not, when one of us is hurt, we both go…that is how we roll in our family and for that I am grateful.

Thankful, simply thankful today…

Emily is sharing her thankful perspective today over at Tuesday’s Unwrapped.
