Parental Influence

Day 18 of 30:

I may have talked about this before, but it definitely warrants being mentioned again: I'm thankful for my parents and the way they raised me. I'm thankful for the positive examples they set for me over the years, as both individuals and as a married couple. I'm thankful that my husband also had positive role models in his parents. It's so easy to take for granted the life I've been given, especially one that did not entail tremendous amounts of hardship. I never had to worry about where I would sleep, if I would be able to eat, or anything like that. My parents took care of me and love me, and taught me things I needed to know. I really appreciate that. In the work that I do, I'm reminded daily how blessed I am and I know that no matter what happens, I do have God, and He will provide for my needs...and my husband, family, etc.
