February 5: Be Grateful for Your Families
I walked into the
kitchen at the Blue Sky Lodge one afternoon. I looked around at my
group of friends. “I feel really blessed,” I said. “You know we’re more
like family than friends.”
They agreed.
My house is full of friendship, and at
the risk of sounding mushy, it’s full of love. There’s almost always
someone home to take care of the place, though we do forget to take the
trash out from time to time.
I’ve learned and laughed with my
housemates, and I hope that they have learned from me as well. Are you
grateful for the people you live with? Or if you live alone, are you
grateful for your friends? Someone once told me that the great thing
about being independent is that we get to choose our families. Be
thankful for your family today, whether it’s the one that you were born
with or the one that you’ve chosen.
Our families are a gift.
God, thank you for my families.
