These are some things I know....at least sometimes....
Maybe they're just things I just SHOULD know...
Heck, let's face it, they're things I often FORGET!!
...but the title remains...Things I know...
I know that I am not the only parent to lose a child.
I know that I'm not really superman.
I know that nothing on earth is guaranteed.
I know that life is a PRECIOUS GIFT.....
I know that it takes an exquisite soul to truly be able to love a broken one unconditionally....
I know that I enjoy being with people and using every second of my time to feel productive.
I know that I sometimes over fill my life in order to avoid feeling some things....
I know that French fries aren't really considered vegetables (but who says so)...
I know that sometimes I go into 'turtle' mode and cause my friends and family to freak out...
I know that I'm solely responsible for my actions. Every action creates a reaction.
I know depression is real.....even when things look perfect from the outside....
I know that even the hardest hearted people are capable of love.
I know that even people with the biggest hearts make mistakes and end up hurting people they love....
I know that forgiveness heals.....
I know that some memories remain seared in our hearts forever.... both good and bad.
I know that I have a good life.
I know that one of life's greatest purposes is to LOVE AND ENCOURAGE other people...
I know that when I feel life sucks there's probably at least one person out there that would like to trade places....
I know there's a child crying, a mother who is scared or a father fighting - right now....all for their family..
I know that LIFE IS TOUGH.
I know that right now there are people making memories and fully taking in the moment.
I know I don't know everything or understand 1/2 of God's creation and intentions....
I know that God's plans are perfect.
I know I don't always agree with those plans.
I know that Jesus Christ died a horrific death to save me....me....an imperfect soul.....Jesus' blood wiped the slate clean....my sins are forgiven and I have salvation - the golden ticket to eternal life - simply because I believe, accept, and confess what God has done for me.
