I have been blessed with having the greatest family on this planet. I've grown up in a good Christian home and I've never had to experience the things that typically go on otherwise. I take for granted sometimes how much God has really given me.
My parents are quite possibly the most loving and caring people you will ever meet. God has given them a gift of being so welcoming to anyone they come across. Growing up, my parents took all of our friends in as their own kids. Everyone at church would walk around saying they were adopted into our family. Were my parents taking over and trying to be their mom and day? Of course not, but it always made kids feel good to know they had my parents to fall back on.
They're aren't many people who are as realistic as my dad. In our house, my mom's the dreamer and my dad's the one who brings her back down from the clouds. I'm not saying he spoils everything and we live a very boring life because of it, I'm just saying that he's smart; very smart. God has given him more wisdom than anyone I know. He's a leader. He's funny. He's blessed.
My mom is a good person to talk to. My dad is too, but like I said, he'll tell you how it is while my mom sympothizes with you a little bit first. She makes things happen. She pulls things together when it's coming apart. All those people I was talking about, they wouldn't have gotten through certain things without my mom. She has a gift.
So, as you can see, I've grown up in the best house there is. My brothers are loving and more protective than anyone wants to find out. My parent's have led us in the way of the Lord since birth. Now a day, so many parents are much more concerned about being 'cool' that they forget about teaching their kids how important Christ is. That wasn't the case in my house.
I thank God everyday for giving me the family that He did.
