Just got some very bad news. Even when you know it is coming, it still make me feel broken. 2 little girls will not haved a dad anymore...a wife will no longer have a husband by her side.
While it is very sad, it does make me think about my life and all that I have been thankful for. I have just read the book Quitter by Jon Acuff and was having trouble with defining what is enough for me....I can now define it.
I have 2 great kids and 2 great spouses that my kids were lucky enough to find. 4 awesome grandsons that are loved by their parents and parents and kids all live under the same roofs. These are the things that make life enough. what is really important?
1. getting to watch you kids get on the school bus
2. watching your kids activities.
3. watching your kids and their spouses have success in life
4. getting to walk down the aisle with your daughter
5. getting to sing at your son's wedding
6. getting to read to the grandkids
7. getting to see your kids and spouses raise their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord Jesus Christ
8. I get to go on vacation with the love of my life several times a year
9. Get to help those in need
10. Get to share my faith in Jesus with those in my life.
These things make my life enough....if nothing else in life ever happens or I go home to Jesus now, I have lived a life that is enough.
Please live your life in a way that is pleasing in God's sight.
