This weekend at home opened my eyes to all the things I am thankful for. It’s sickening to realize how easy it is to take advantage of the things around me. Lately, I feel as if I’m a tiny mouse running on one of those dizzy-ing wheels over and over and over again, and my days all just mix in with each other. Being busy should not be my excuse for not taking minutes out of my day to sit and thank the Lord for something specific in my life and how much it has impacted me.
So…Today I am thankful for my parents. My mom carries the most compassion I have seen in anyone, and I only pray I can be as nurturing as she has to me, my brothers, and everyone around her. My dad is solid as a rock. His strength and peace in life are overpowering. He loves serving not only to the sick, but all whom he comes in contact with daily. My parents may not have always agreed to the choices I or my brothers have made over the years, but they love us unconditionally and strive to set examples of warriors for Christ. They are my supporting ground, the arms that hold me when I’m sick and crying, and the place where I run to when I’m lost knowing I will find my center again. I can honestly say I have the freakin greatest parents EVER!!
