A few weeks back I visited with an friend I've known my whole life who I hadn't seen in a while. When we were saying goodbye he left me with this, "If I haven't told you, I'm proud of you."
It struck me kind of funny. Why would you leave someone with this thought? Not that it's bad or negative, but just different.
My reflection has led me to wonder what I have done that is worthy of that thought. Is it the kids and adoption? Or the fact I've stayed close to God and not strayed away?
Maybe from the outside looking in, I appear to have done something big or difficult in my life. Something that has led me to the place I find myself.
I've just done the only thing I could do in every situation. I've done what I thought was best and tried to depend on God. (With many mistakes along the way).
But whatever was to my gain, I consider loss. I consider everything loss compared to the greatness of knowing him, for whose sake I have lost all things.
