Life is full of both internal and external challenges. Loss of employment, illness, the loss of a loved one, etc. The list goes on. But life is also full of blessings, both big and small: children, family, church, learning... WOMEN (well for me at least). That list also goes on.
In the last 10 years I've lost my dad to cancer, my eldest sister to an especially virulent infection and my cousin to heart complications after surgery to repair her back. I have been informed this year that my job will be terminated at the end of the year and I had to sell my car (that I loved) to buy a truck as the car was too small for my now growing family.
But I have a wife that sticks by me and two wonderful boys. Could things be better? Sure, but I wouldn't change my life for anyone's. It's mine, I own it, I shape it the best I can. I've made some terrible decisions in my life and some great ones too. When it's all said and done I hope the good outweigh the bad and that some people in my life will remember me and think I brought some small amount of good into the world.
What more could you possibly hope for?
