Living On The Edge

Welcome! Let me tell you a little about who I am. I am a woman on an adventurous journey following where God leads me. I love the excitement of living on the edge, waiting for God to rescue me in the most amazing ways. My heart's desire is that I may inspire others to join me as I seek to live fully, love passionately, and laugh joyfully!

Live Abundantly!

The Heroes of my Life

dancingdreamer | January 29, 2008 14:32

One thing I want to be in this life- is somebody's hero. I am so rich because of the heroes that have touched my life. When I think of a hero, I don't immediately think of a person running into a burning building to save someone's life. There is a more significant meaning that stands out in my mind. Webster's dictionary defines "Hero" as, "A man admired and emulated for his achievements and qualities." Lately, I've been reflecting on all the many heroes of my life.

When I think of heroes on this earth, my husband is the first one that comes to my mind. My husband is my hero, not because he has been the president or CEO of a big corporation, or that he has completed an "Ironman" race, or that he has accomplished some great feat. He is my hero because he keeps fighting despite the adversity that comes his way. He is my hero because he lives his life with integrity and works hard for our family. He's the one who knows the secrets of my soul. He shares my dreams, holds my hand, and cares for me when I'm sick. He's my hero, my best friend, my soul mate, and the one who holds my heart in his hand. 

My daughter is my hero because she is kind, caring, forgiving, funny, and strives to know God's heart better. My son is my hero because he is loving, caring, witty, generous, and vivacious- with a heart to fight for God's kingdom. My mom is my hero because she taught me by example what it means to love unconditionally and what it means to love God. My dad is my hero because he showed me by example what it means to truly allow Christ to transform my life. My grandmother is my hero because she instilled in my heart a passion for Christ and a love for life! My grandfather is my hero because he showed me what a "Real Man" is- what every man should strive to be. My friends are my heroes because they patiently walk with me through life, listening to my heart- sharing my tears of sadness and celebrating my joys and triumphs.

Today, I thank God for all "The Heroes of my Life" and above all for my Greatest Hero- Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior!

John 15:13 - " Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends."

Thank you, my heroes!Smile
