What I Was Thinking ... was what an example my parents are to me. Soon they will be celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary; what an accomplishment. Here they are at Sea World, holding hands ... after 50 years. I think it's pretty neat that Stewart and I hold hands after 27 years; I still want to be doing that after 50 years!
We all still love spending time with each other. My parents have been the ones that have kept us all together. My sister and I are always so excited when it is "our turn" to have mom and dad for Christmas. See, mom and dad alternate each year with us for Christmas (this year it's my turn!) The Thanksgiving tradition has always been everyone goes to mom and dad's house. We are going to have the best time in a couple of weeks. The only downfall is that their grandchildren are all of the U.S. now and cannot come home; only two will be there this year. Times do change, but we continue to try and make the best of the situation.
These are the things I am looking forward to with my own children. I want to continue the tradition and family values that my parents have taught me. All five of my parents' grandchildren have a heart for serving God. They have made a huge legacy for themselves and they are the strongest foundation that I have ever known. My parents have built their home on solid ground. I'm so thankful that I have that to build on.
That's what I was thinking,
