Will we ever be satisfied?

I often wonder... when will I feel like I have it all and couldn't ever ask for any more?
I mean, in life, right now, I have it great!

I have the best family anyone could ever even dream up. My parents are so supportive, are not overbearing, and are happily married after 30something years... My sister is the most amazing woman I know with a family that I just adore. My husband is the most incredible man I've ever met and many days I wonder how in the world I got so blessed and lucky to have him. I'm a mom to a healthy and adorable little girl. I love my life.

When I was dating Ryan, all I wanted was to be married. I thought, oh, to be married... I just know I'd be completely satisfied with my life if I were married.

Then I got married and was so happy. But thought, oh, when I have a child, I know I'll feel completely satisfied.

Now that I have a child, I am waiting on a point in my life where we can buy a house. I can just feel like I'll be completely satisfied then...

But what happens after that? Another child? A bigger house? A garage (if the first one doesn't have one?!)

Lord, help me to be satisfied with the blessings you have given me, and not always crave more.



So funny story:
Ryan and I say grace before dinner. We usually hold a hand of each other, and I put my hand out towards Maddie's high chair or booster, whichever she has decided she wants to sit in that night, but she doesn't hold my hand. At first, when we started holding hands and saying grace, about six months ago, she would pull her hand away, so I just never pushed it.

The other night we went out to dinner, and I'll be honest, we forget when we're out to dinner to say grace. But right after our drinks were served, Maddie grabbed Ryan and and my hand then looked up and said, "Amen".

The two of us nearly fell off the booth seats!!! How cute is that!
So, now, she holds her hand out to say grace when we sit down!! So funny!!
