Extended Family

I have realized lately what an incredible circle of support and love I have around me. So much so that I am comletely humbled and floored at the the people God has put in my life to lift me up and gently push me forward. Not only do I have the most precious and loving family and friends spread across many provinces and states, but I have my parents cicle of friends who I am increasingly greatful for. These are couples who have been a part of my life for many years, who have watched me grow up and loved me along the way. I am so blessed to have grown into not only someone they are proud of but someone I can call friend. I spent the evening having dinner with one of these couples that have known me since I was a baby. When I left the husband siad, "I may not be able to hold you on my lap anymore, but we sure are proud of you and love you still." God really never leaves me alone, He provided all that I need and has surrounded me with more spiritual family than I ever could have imagined. I am thankful.
