"Because just being Together is enough"
Since Thanksgiving is just right around the corner I thought I would write about one thing I'm thankful for today. And today I'm thankful for my small family Kirk, Zachary, and Isabella. Tonight I met a mother of one of Zachary's classmates, who told me that her husband passed away two years ago and what a challenge it has been for their family. As she shared her story with me it started making me think about how blessed I am to have my small family living, happy, and healthy. Too often I take for grant it that they are all around, and I find myself just doing daily tasks and not stopping and thinking about how much I love and care for them. This young mother, whom spoke with tonight brought tears to my eyes as she shared with me how her son believes that his father is going to come home, and how he also has night terrors every night about his Father's death. I hope to be a good friend and listener for this lady. I can not imagine losing my husband at such a young age. I'm so thankful for the Gosple in my life and the knowledge and peace that it brings into my life. During this season, I ask each of you to please keep this lady in your thoughts and prayers and please find the time each day to embrace and love each of your family members because we never know when we will be called home.
every trial in my life has brought me to THIS place.....a place where nothing is perfect but everything is great. i wouldn't change a thing. OK MAYBE A FEW THINGS!!!!
