We received news today that a very dear friend passed away. He was only 28 years old. I am comforted in knowing that he had accepted Jesus as his savior, but I'm still devastated by the loss. He was such a good person. He never wanted to hurt anyone. He was there for anyone, even those that treated him like dirt. He had a heart of gold. I will miss him terribly.
God is so amazing. I look at my beautiful children and am immediately so grateful that God gave me the opportunity to raise such amazing individuals. I know that I am not perfect, nor do I try to be. I do try to lead a good example for my children though. I know that there are many things I do as a parent, or even as a person, that many wouldn't agree with. In the end, I only have to answer to God. God knows my heart. He knows that I am overwhelmingly appreciative and grateful for his love and guidance. God knows that I accept his son as my savior. I could never imagine dying for a group of people I didn't know, or even having my child die for others. He gave so much, and asks for so little. I wish I was more eloquent and knew exactly how to describe my feelings. Love. That's all.
We have a roof over our heads. We have warm beds, clothes that fit, food on our table, and are all healthy. I don't think I could ask for anything more. I am so thankful for my many blessings. The last year or two has been trying. I feel like we are in a good place as a family, and I couldn't ask for anything more.
