Perspective

A smile comes easily most mornings as I peer into the refrigerator contemplating the question, "will it be bacon or sausage?" In truth, the choices are more extensive, but the answer is irrelevant. Of note is that I know how blessed I am to have been born an American, surrounded by family who loved me, and taught by my parents via words and actions that charitable giving is far more gratifying than receipt of charity. As I watch my children mature, they too are demonstrating habits of thought and action that warm my heart - a love and appreciation of the good things that God has given to us all to enjoy. I am thankful that I can and thankful that I so choose, for I am Juan Freeman.
