As the Holiday of being Thankful has passed I am reminded daily that I am SO GRATEFUL for so much. I had a difficult childhood but not the worse. Just mentally installed in me that at time I sit and tears roll down my cheeks. As a mother, God has reminded me that we have a choice. I made a choice to be thee best Mother I can be to my boys. We all make mistakes but as parents we stand behind them but still let them fall.
We don't just give up on them. We guide them. We speak to them no matter how many times they stumble. Even if it's the same reason over and over. Their are different kinds of humans. Some need to stumble more then others. I stumble in more areas in my life then other areas. Do you?
Being grateful for my life experience....
that is what makes us stronger. Even if in that point of life doesn't seem like it will help me be
stronger later.
But it will for sure.
I stamped the sentiment "SO GRATEFUL" all over and once I was done I was thinking of my past. I am grateful. I wont lie that at the moment of that season of my life I would never think I would be but I am.
:-)
