Back to work today after a long weekend that was really short. Had call part of the weekend and worked and a lot going on at home so just like everyone else the weekend seemed like it flew by. Life is like that. We get busy and before we know it our kids are grown and the things we meant to teach them or do with them its too late. Before you know it your parents are old or pass away and those things that you were always going to tell them are unsaid. I wrote a note to my dad before he died telling him how much he meant to me. Unfortunately it took a terminal illness to make me do that. I wish I had done it years before. My dad loved my unconditionally. I always knew that no matter what I could go to him and he would help me and keep on loving me. When I learned about being saved it was so easy for me to believe that I had a heavenly father that would love me unconditionally because I had an earthly father that loved me that way. Now I try to tell people how much I care for them, I am still not as responsible about it as I should be tho. Make an effort today to tell at least one person how much you love/appreciate them and what a difference they make in your life.
My mom is staying here with us and recovering from hip surgery, and I may grumble sometimes and get tired and am not as patient as I should be, but it truly is an honor to be able to care for a parent. Many people don't have parents to care for. If you have a parent that you are not speaking to or have no contact with for whatever reason remember this: God gave you those parents for a reason, if you are not speaking to them of your choice then you are saying that God is wrong and you are treading on thin ice. If it is their choice, pray they have a change of heart. If it is an abusive or harmful relationship, then you have made the right choice.
God is parent to us all, you can count on Him for all things.
Have a good day and remember to keep your joy and don't let anyone take it away from you.....its your choice.
