This is a tough question because there are many things to be thankful for in this life and many struggles as well. In the end, the struggles are things to be thankful for as well because they are the tools that God uses in my life to change me. If I had to pick one thing for each though, I would say the thing I am most thankful for in this life is the way it draws our family closer together. The moving, changing cultures, experiencing loneliness, celebrating holidays away from home, etc. are all things that are tough to go through yet make us a stronger family. On the flip side, it is tough to be away from our family and friends. I especially find it hard to see the kids missing people from home.
I often wonder how I will feel when this chapter of our life draws to a close. I am sure there will be relief on some things, but other things that I will truly miss, so I am trying to enjoy every moment while I can!
I get this one a lot too. When I was traveling, my favorite part was being in a new place every year and “figuring it out.” My least favorite was figuring it out. I know…my favorite was also my least favorite, because I enjoyed figuring it out, but some days were very overwhelming!
