My beautiful family

When I was a little boy, in elementary school, I never would have thought that I would have a safe, secure wonderful family of my own. My life was pretty much a complete war zone of fighting, and not talking, and for me withdrawal.

I am so lucky to be able to enjoy a wonderful life with my family. And sometime I take that for granted. As I experience life with other folks, so many times their story is like mine. They have no hope, but only fear, I thank God, that I have the opportunity to share with folks that God's love drives out all fear. And I am reminded of that perfect love when I see my beautiful wife and handsome son. And I feel the love, and care and concern they give me each. My son is so gifted in being empathetic. He always says daddy I am sorry that happened to you or he'll go out of his way to say Daddy I love. And the more time I spend with him, the more he says I love you daddy.

You know it reminds me of how thankful I should be to God. He is so much more to me than I am a father to my son. Just in that moment of I love you my son is reminding me of how God loves me.
