What are you thankful for? Why of course family, friends, Jesus, the cross, health, stabilty...But what about the other side of the coin? As I reflect on my life journey, I do not regret the poor decisions I have made, the heartache, the trials, the other side of the coin. I am a whole, complete person that has traveled roads that I know were not designed for me in a perfect world but I live in this world. A world of mistakes, pain and sin. As a parent I want to save my children from anything painful. Yet I know that through fire comes character, strength and faith. I could not dream of a better life, better family, husband, children than I am blessed with today. All this brings me back to being thankful for lessons learned, the heartache, the trails and the rocks in my road of life. I live by the motto: Put it in 4 Wheel drive and keep going! See you at the top.
