You are very blessed kids. Let me tell you.. You have parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents who love you so very much. We all want the very best for you. We want you to have nice things, have nice clothes, fun toys, and fun things to do. And while that is all well and good I am starting to realize it's becoming a problem. I don't want y'all to think you HAVE to have "things" to be happy. I want you to see that time spent with family, friends, helping others.. That's what brings happiness. Not stuff. And then on top of all that I want you to learn that you won't always be happy. Some days you will just be. I want you to be content in whatever you do. However life treats you, to just be content. And let me tell you, I am still learning that at 30 years old. I am hoping that by watching me you can pick up on it a lot quicker. I want you to be grateful for what you have. And when you do get something extra to thank whoever was responsible for giving it to you. Your parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and most importantly God. I am still learning and I promise you many days I get it wrong. But I hope through my process you will learn, too. And that we all come out in the end thankful for the lessons learned, things we were given, and even things we weren't.
Love,
Momma
