privileged life...

in a casual conversation yesterday a random thing was said...
and it's impact didn't make it's impression till late last night as i laid in bed.


i live a privileged life....

the ability, means and desire to homeschool my children is such a blessing.
it truly is a gift that god has granted me. i know my children better through it.
i see their strengths and weaknesses, i get to applaud and encourage.
i have been given the time each day to show them i care for their heart and i value their time.
it's a privilege to be able to homeschool mom.

the unconditional love from my best friend is such a blessing.
he's there when no one else is. he loves to make me smile.
in his eyes, there is only me. he uplifts, he comforts, he provides.
it's a privilege to be called his wife.

to find a skill i love to do is such a blessing.
in a world where everyone seems to be looking for the next best thing.
where it's hard to make ends meat, and people live paycheck to paycheck.
i found a way to make people feel good,
i get paid to do it, and i can help others do the same.
it's a privilege to work a career i love.

so, while everything in life sometimes has ups and downs.
in both the good times and bad i vow to never forget...

i have been blessed with a privileged life.
