Today, November 1st is All Saints Day. It is traditionally a day when Christians remember those loved ones who have gone before us.
This month, I am going to mention thankfulness or gratitude on every post, every day. I am going to force myself to find something to be thankful for. It should not be that hard.
Today, among many other things, I am thankful for my Parents. They were not perfect. They were children of the depression. They had a hard life. They wasted nothing. They did not tolerate anything that smelled like disrespect. Boundaries were kept very firm between a parent and a child. Questions were frowned upon.
But, they loved us, they cared for us, they fed us and they protected us. They got us through college and they survived our craziness. [we were children of the 60's and 70's]
They gave me a chance at life. I know that they loved us and if they had the chance today would tell us that they are proud of us.
I hope that you have parents or mentors that helped launch you. Although not perfect, where would we be today without them?
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
