Sometimes I think I focus on the difficulties more than the blessings because on any given day most people have something they must overcome and I write to encourage those people.
I hope that as each of us prepares to fight our battles, we stand strong and firm. I hope that we remember it is only a battle and we will come out on top in the end. Once the difficulty is passed, we will bear the battle scars. We will be smarter and stronger and wiser.
I hope I can encourage you to keep fighting. I hope I can remind you this battle will only last a season. It will end. I hope I can encourage you to remember your blessings. I hope I can inspire you to keep walking, keep stepping down the path with your eyes on the view.
Because I am always sharing about my own journey through the rocks and mountains and mud, I have to work harder to remember the amazing parts of my journey.
I am thankful for my husband, my daughters and my family. I am thankful for my friends. I am thankful for my home. I am thankful for my job. I am thankful for the gift of health I have. I am thankful for my strength. I am thankful for the gift of each moment.
Sometimes, I simply take in the moments. Sometimes I am watching and overwhelmed with emotion and I have to sit and take it in. Sometimes I am careful to sit back and let others shine and celebrate, I don't want to take their light. Sometimes I am too careful and it looks like I don't care. I promise, I am simply there.
I've said it before. There are more difficult steps in our journey than easy ones, but the difficult ones make us stronger. In the midst of your journey and whatever part you are on, take in the blessings. Take in the beautiful and amazing and special moments that make the steep mountains worth every painful moment.
