It's been a while, sorry.
Well I am back at the wonderful world of Fort wilderness. The fact that for the next week I was/am able to wake up to the smell and sight of Gods creation is beyond comprehension. I has been waiting two week for this moment.
I have gotten to spend lots of quality time with my camp friends via skype, phone, or face to Face. ( aka In person because theu are still working). Boy did I miss their Lovley souls. This past two weeks, being home in iowa, I have really been learning the value of the word thankful.
To me this summer, being thankful for things has been on my heart and thoughts. First, I need to be thankful for what my heavenly father did for me and every other being on this planet. Our ultimate thankfulness and submission should go to him. He died for us so we could love eternally. Woah, that's crazy.
Second, I need to be completely thankful and humble for things God has given me. This summer I've really been thanking God for every friendship that He has brought into my life. It's not always easy living as a christian back home, when most of the time i walk alone or with a couple others. I'm sure many of you can relate to that by being thankful for my friends, I am able to, with god, not dwell on the fact that I live so far away. In past years it really took a toll on me. But with peace from God, I has a renewed strength for another year.
Third, I am so thankful for my parents. Yes, I admit it, I am a teenager and like to be in control of my life. That's just the way it is. I am thankful for the boundaries and discipline that they have given me in y life this far. ( even when in the moment, I want to scream.) whether they believe it or not, they are some of the most amazing people I have ever met. Whatever age you are, I encourage you to thank God for your parents. I know I wouldn'tt be who I am today without my parents. Graduation high school this year and starting a new chapter of my life will be different, but I have TI greatest parents who will always be there no matter what.
So today, thank Christ for what he has done; thank a friend who means a lot to you; and thank your parents or someone who has influenced your life.
Have a spectacular day!
In Christ,
Taler
