so blessed
I've been thinking a lot tonight about how blessed I am. I have my health, my family, my husband, my friends, my career (even though it has it's ups and downs).
My parents were so supportive while I was growing up. There is no way I would be here today, doing what I'm doing, if it weren't for them. They were always there to support and encourage me. I pray that I will be able to provide the same love, encouragement and the support (financially and emotionally) to our children that they did.
It's hard to keep reminding myself how precious life is sometimes. We all get caught up with our lives and it's easy to complain. What do I have to complain about? NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. In the past 4 months I've learned that 3 people I know have cancer. That is crazy...I can't wrap my head around it. I really can't. I try to understand what it would be like to find out and I can't get beyond it. So the question I ask myself is...what can I do? Well, I can pray that God gives them and their loved ones strength, faith, and comfort.
I know what it's like to lose someone close to you. My dad died 6 years ago, not to cancer but it changed the way I look at life. Some things just aren't important anymore and things like family become more and more important everyday. Why do we let silly things like money and disagreements come between us? It's just so disturbing when you stop to look at the bigger picture. I tend to repeat this saying a lot..."things happen for a reason". It helps me to let things go and accept the hard times. Even though it's hard to understand when you are in the moment. Sometimes but not all the time, it ends up making sense.
My friend sent me an email awhile back and I wanted to include this comment from her in this entry..."When it comes down to it, all that matters on this earth is People, and love, and God. Thats it....none of these materialistic things REALLY truely matter, because when someone you love so dearly, someone you would truely give your life for, is in danger of losing theres.....u realize that nothing else matters....nothing...."
Please pray for her sister and the 2 others I know that are fighting cancer right now. Thank you.
until next time
