Thanksgiving week has come and gone. To start the week off right I asked one thing of you. Be thankful for your significant other. In the rush of this thing called life I forgot something else to be thankful for. You see most of my posts have been about a partnership that we find in marriage. The whole one man one woman union that is quite beautiful. But what would that union be without a family to back it up? What would it be without crazy kids?
This last week I was reminded how thankful I am for my family. Not only my immediate family, but also my extended family.
Sometimes when I am here all by myself at college I have moments of forgetfulness because what I am doing here kind of revolves around me. I don't want to be prideful or selfish. But if I were to tell the truth what I do is a lot for me. I go to my classes. I grocery shop for me. I study for my tests. Not that I didn't do that before either. What I am really trying to say is that the distance that separates my family and I contributes to my forgetting. But this forgetting has to be momentary because I am so thankful for my family. They do so much for me. They are the reason I am able to be attending BYU and taking my classes, and doing my grocery shopping. I can't imagine accomplishing anything without them.
As we gathered together for Thanksgiving I was reminded just how much they do for me. I was reminded just how much I love them. I was reminded just how much I am thankful for them. I sure do love my crazy family.
