Today's post is dedicated to my most avid readers, my Grandpa Joe and my Grandma Vicki, who incidentally also inspired today's word! The word "care" is so common; caregivers, caretakers, "I don't care," carebears, and even a new nanny website called something like "care.com". It is ironic to me that when things surround us in such a strong way, it is sometimes so easy to totally for get the meaning or weight of it. Care is something that is so powerful; it is saying to someone, "I will do what is best for you because your happiness will make things better for me, too." I am blessed to be surrounded by people who care about one another in a big way. My roommate and I have been talking for months about what incredible gifts from God our family and friends are because we know that they would do anything for us, and we would do likewise without hesitation. This is care in its truest form, wanting the best for people you love just because you know they deserve it as God's own.
Lately, I have been trying to have an inner peace and be aware of all of the positive things going on in my life. When my grandparents text messaged me today and told me that they missed my thoughts on this blog, it was like God showing me a huge beam of sunlight, revealing His awesome care through them. I am inspired to let the people that I care about know that I care about them the way my grandparents did for me today.
(I love you both!)
