Time, Where did it go? And some random thoughts

I can not believe that it is December 22nd. This year has flown by. I have a lot to be thankful for this year. I have a better outlook on life. I still have a wife who loves me. I'm still doing great with my weight loss. I have my health and a job. Wonderful friends. The only thing that is missing is an addition to our family. I don't blame God for Sheila and I not having any little ones yet. I know that God will bless us when he is ready. I know that there is a reason for everything. It's not for us to know what that reason is. I do believe that God's word is true and that he will bless us. He has never let us down before. I can tell you that Sheila and I have had many ups and Downs in the past 9 years. I really believe that when the smoke clears and we pick up the pieces we are stronger. If I never got another thing that I wanted I still have my relationship with God and my relationship with my wife. There are so many people who are sitting at home tonight without someone to love them. Without someone to mess up their hair. No one to throw a pillow at you for mocking them in fun. No one to get upset with them for something said in anger. Just plain lonely. I pray that I never have to know that feeling. I lived a life as a loner (and still do somewhat) and it is just the Pitts. Everyone needs someone to love.



The sad thing is that there are many days that I get down on myself and think about all the things that I do not have, All the things that I want and will never get. I hate it when I get like that because I have to come back to reality and really look at what the big picture is. We are all here for such a short period of time. It seems that many of us go home to soon. And then there are those silver haired saints that long for the day they can go to their reward. The fact is this isn't home. This is training camp. Our treasures are not here on earth. I have to remind my self of that so often. In this very busy day to day life that we live it is often very easy to loose sight of the important things. I think I smell a New Years resolution coming :)



Blessings till I post again.
