I phoned a friend as she wished for me to as i left my doctors appts today. She is the kind of friend that you can call about anything and EVERYTHING i have so many of them but this one knows just what i am going through.( i have a sister that i am super close to and she is one of my everything friends to you know who you are!) She makes me feel so much better about things and gives me strength and shows me that there are folks in this world that have beautiful children genetically perfect as they can be and she as a mom realizes that and still extends her love and heart to my situation. Still is mindful of what i am going through. Now keep in mind she is NOT the only one but today she is the one i am "picking" on :)
When i called her she said, " Hey Heather Can i call you back i am at the cemetary visiting with my mom."
I hung the phone up and this humbled me in such a manner to give thanks in prayer to my heavenly father that even though my life has been picked with so many trials with disease etc i have my mom. She is not laying in a place 12 hours away and she can hug my babies. She was there for me to grow up. She was there in the physical sense. So sobbing and praying for my friend i realized another blessing in my life today. I realized another thing i take for granted. I am so grateful for the love of my family. I love my family (spiritual to) so much and i am so blessed. God is so good to me and my family. I am a blessed woman.
I really realized that i fall short in my life with complaints that are not important when it comes to my family. They are NOT perfect and NOR am I! This is the life God gave me and let me tell you my friend LOVES her life she is amazing the strength of ten men she is an amazing mother and has perfected loving her children and being a mom ( we all have our flaws but how i love my friend) I just wanted to share today that even though relationships are flawed not perfect and sometimes the worst they could EVER be if we have the option to call our mom hug them or a simple visit to say i love you or what can we do for them. We should do all we can for we are NOT promised a tomorrow. We are only given one mom and dad. hug them tell them you love them and look past the indifference. I know this is a HUGE BLACK POT calling the KETTLE BLACK! but i can promise i forgive with my inlaws ( i will not longer call a few of them the "outlaws") and look past offenses and i will grow and strengthen it was good enough for Christ to forgive us enough that he paid the biggest price.
Anyways, I just wanted to post this today it was on my heart and i dont know who reads this but if you read it and feel as i do thank you.
I feel like the title of my blog is really not accurate anymore i think it should be ....Raising the Carters ( not limited to the children)
When all we think is that we are raising our children and teaching them all about life they are truly teaching us about living.
I LOVE my life! its a silly life but its mine.
