What I have.....

What I have isn't perfect, but it is pretty close
What I have is worth more than gold
What I have money can't buy
What I have I know is good
What I have is attainable
What I have is a choice
What I have takes work
What I have is boring; to some
What I have is weird; to others
What I have is complicated
What I have is simple
What I have is ..........

A relationship with Christ
A strong marriage
A partner with whom we have sacrificed for our kids
A safe secure home
A grand-baby on the way
A life with four beautiful kids
A wonderful daughter in law
A strong man standing beside me
A strong female psyche
A desire to continue to make things better
A love for those around me


We married very, very young
We chose to live a straight "boring" life
We chose to live in a town that is all about education
We chose to focus on our kids, our marriage, and Christ


I strive not to take for granted what I have. I know what it is like to not have these things. I remember. I look around and know this is good, this is close to paradise.
