I have been looking forward to summer for quite a while. I was all excited to eat a home cooked meal and spend time with all my family. Now that I am home I have realized that those reasons were so selfish of me. I came home and it hit me how thankful I am for everything and how much I take everything for granted. I think about all the things I have been given and how much I have been blessed with. I have been reflecting on the opportunities alone that I have been given. Yes, my life has had its disadvantages and things that could have gone differently, but my life has also been so full of life and love. (that sounds so cliché) I could not ask for a better life though and better family. (people that are important to me and surround me with love are family) God’s blessings have truly been all that He promised. I spent all day at home yesterday alone and it was one of the most reflective times ever. Throughout the day multiple things kept coming to mind that I should be thankful for and that I cherish. I sit in awe of the fact that if you truly strive towards God’s will for your life that He will bless you.
