Being sick, Jess’s link and comments on this, watching the episode of E.R. where Dr. Green sees his last patient because he is dieing of a tumor, and just looking around at the lives of those who live in our apartment community reminds me how well I have it. Reminds me to be thankful for what I got. The life that I have. My beautiful family. Reminds me to enjoy my freedom in Christ and not get so stressed about what I am supposed to do with it.
My children are beautiful. My wife is beautiful. The growing baby in her belly is beautiful. My life is beautiful.
What an ass I am to ever take that for granted.
Stressing about bills seems so silly when I think about other people’s realities.
To live to love....
To enjoy the company of a stranger. An old friend. The laughter of my children. My wife’s smart-aleck comments....
To enjoy my life. To live it to the fullest. To love to the fullest. All done in/with/through Christ. That is what my neighbors need. What my family needs.
