After church today, I was invited to go along with friends to a hibachi restaurant in Memphis, where we were all sitting around the table and being entertained by the Japanese chef. A very good meal, great company...the only downside was that we couldn't all hear one another over the noise.As the fortune cookies were passed around, we all were having fun opening them and reading them to one another. Most of us had good ones, and mine was something along the lines of "Appreciate the caring people that surround you". So appropriate for my life right now...or ANYTIME for that matter! I wasn't surrounded by these folks just at the hibachi table, I'm surrounded by them as I take this journey called life.
I thought of these friends...some of the truest "heart friends" you could ever find, and the history we have together.
My fortune, my riches, if you will, are not made up of material things. I struggle to make ends meet. But I consider myself rich in many ways....by the blessings in my life. These blessings include my family and my friends.
Today I am grateful for:
1. My dad. It's Father's Day, and I am one of the fortunate and blessed people who have a wonderful earthly father. He's awesome.
2. My girls....Casie and Lindsey. They are amazing. It's as simple as that. Being their mom is the greatest joy in my life.
3. Plan B. More on that topic later. I'm still processing some very wise words shared this morning by one of the dear friends I mentioned above. He always is thought provoking for me, and so today, I am mulling over his words.
