25 Days of Gratitude

#2
You may think I rarely say this and don't appreciate you enough, but I'm writing this to let you know that I do. This evening I want to thank God for placing you in my life. I wouldn't be the young lady I am today... you were always the one pushing me to do my best and I don't know where I would be if you were never part of the family. There are days where I would be so frustrated with you and I would vent to mom about how you're this and how you're that... and I'm learning to be patient with you. I will very much need it in the future. I'm still learning to really genuinely appreciate what you have done in my life and I'm constantly reminded that you are not God. You and I are not perfect but that means there's more of God in our lives right? We are nothing without Christ. We can't do anything without Christ.

Thank you for being the "father figure" and for just being there when I think I don't need you. if that makes any sense. We may not see eye to eye but we're still family. You always say that I will be very grateful for what you have done when I grow up.... however, I want to be thankful now. And it's not an obligation, this is coming from the heart. And I pray that as I begin to understand you more that you may understand me a little better as well.

God is so good and your life is evidence of his goodness.
You most certainly came a long way and I am amazed by what God has done to your heart.
and I would like to acknowledge that I am so proud.
