Little Blessings

On August 23, 2000, my son, Joe left his grandmother's house to take a friend, Paul to work. While enroute to his friends jobsite, they were hit by a drunk driver. Joe and Paul died instantly. The young man that hit them escaped with a few bruises. There was a trial and he went to prison. He was sentenced to ten years on each life that was lost, however, in four years he goes before the Parole Board and he could be released from prison. Four years is not much time for taking lives. Two weeks after Joe's death, my daughter found out she was pregnant. On April 26, 2001, Josolyn Snow was born. God had given us this little baby girl to help us get through the ordeal of losing Joe. My grandson, Dustin also helped me a great deal. All of my children and grandchildren are my little blessings. I thank God for each one of them. Losing a child is a hard thing to bear, but I know that God had a reason for letting it happen and I believe I will see Joe again. Tragedy happens when we least expect it. But, if we will trust God, He will see us through all of our trials no matter how big or how small they may be. This is the story behind "Little Blessings". I hope it will touch your hearts, it truly has mine. I thank God for this song.
