Eric and I have been a blended family for over 22 years now but more importantly, we are an American family. Blended or not, we love each other and value our time together. We both love our kids, grandkids and family. We work hard every day, pay the bills, go to church, have goals and dreams and just do life the best way we can. We are always growing spiritually, striving to be closer to God and learn from our mistakes. We know God gave us a purpose on this earth and we do it together with patience, support and prayer.
Isn't that what life is about? Finding what your calling is and who you will live that life with? We all have a valuable purpose to be alive and that is why we are here. Not everyone finds that purpose right away. Many of us struggle, fall, drift and get lost until we figure it out! That is why we have hope and a reason to live. That is why America was built over 200 years ago. The American family is the foundation to society that grows and thrives.
Our founding fathers were not perfect but the people who wrote our constitution wanted freedom. They did not want to live under a King who ruled their lives. They wanted freedom to live our God given lives to pray, raise our families with faith and to know God's word, the Bible. Our country was built for all people to have freedom, even if they were not Christians or Jewish. Freedom to build a business and freedom to do what we were called to do.
As we move forward here with our blog and videos, we will continue to speak about our blended family issues but also share the goodness of being married as husband and wife here is the United States of America. We hope you will be inspired by what we share and believe.
