“When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” — G.K. Chesterton
During one of our mission trips to Mexico, our bus load of boys and dads stopped by a roadside house to use their two outhouses in the field. They used newspaper for toilet paper, their “house” was a shack with a dirt floor and flimsy cots as beds, and corn tortillas seemed to be the staple dish. But the three Mexican girls and their mom and dad had bright smiles on their faces and a deep peace in their hearts. They told me that they went to Mass every Sunday, prayed and truly valued their time together as a family. Faith and family are such huge gifts and I encourage all of the parents out there to make this the priority as well.
