Yes it is....yet another year has gone by and WOW it has changed so much. I have noticed one very important thing this year: I love my family! I have always loved them, it's dorky, but I rally appreciated them this year. Much has happened to each one of us along the road but one thing that remains the same is we all LOVE eachother. That has and NEVER will change. I spent my Turkey Day with 17 of the most lovely people I know and dearly missed 4 others as they were away for the holiday in College Station. All through the day I received uplifting texts of Thanks from friends, some far away and some close by. How I wish I could keep the precious moments in my grasp forever but even those must slip away into my memory and become just that...memories. I do not know if I like having memories. Some of them are just to heartbreaking to delve back in to. I know, you are probably saying," well don't go there!" but it's not that easy. I am human. In my time of reflection I am however looking on to what the future holds. The one thing I am sure of is it will contain the goodness of Christ and only that. I once read somewhere that when we go back to our past, Christ is not there in that moment anymore, when we look to the future He cannot be there either. He is a PRESENT God. He only exists in our most present moments and we literally breathe breaths that He graciously sees fit to give us. I will go so far as to say that I know I will TRY,( I said it TRY) to do nothing without my Lord and Savior first being a part of it. I do not know what your situation is, I may not even know you personally but know that there is a God in heaven who knows everyone of us as deep as anyone could ever know. He lives to live through us and be thanked for what He has done. Even when it takes the most out of you to try to think of something to be thankful for, be thankful for life and remember that there is always someone out there that has it WAAAAY worse than you. Many times I have been put in my place for thinking my life was pretty pittiful...well I was just plain pittiful!The song on my page that you here first by Francesca is called "Behind the Scenes", it will give you a glimpse of what all of us have in common. I hope you have all had the most Blessed Thanksgiving.
Blessings,
Amber
