Never take what you have for granted, because it could be what someone else is not capable of having. ~Unknown
AMEN! I feel like I want to say this to people all the time.....and at the same time, I am guilty of doing this very thing. UGH. Don't you just cringe when you are in a conversation with a bunch of women and one of them says something like "My husband and I just LOOK at each other and we're pregnant - it was so EASY!" when you know that someone else in the group is DYING to get pregnant and is just heartbroken with fertility problems? You know that Woman #1 didn't mean to be rude or hurt someone else's feelings. But it happens all the time - we ALL take things in our lives for granted.
This week especially, I am feeling the guilt of taking my Dad for granted and now he's been gone for 8 years. All the things I want to say to him or ask him or bounce off him..........ugh. I know I definitely took him for granted for my whole life, just assuming in my perfect little world that Dads live forever. Well, I can say for SURE that they don't and that you don't always get warning (I didn't). So go hug your Dad, appreciate your blessings and don't take a single thing for granted!
