May 8th, Mothers day, papas birthday
Today, I am emotional. I dont know why. Just sitting there in church, I just felt all emotional and teared up just thinking about how much I love my parents.
Can you imagine raising five Rancourt children? I can't. There must have been times my parents wanted to shoot us(or themselves). Five little friggers running around, fighting and arguing and crying and screaming. Man, thats a lot of kids.
As you begin to grow older, you really start to realize the sacrifices that your parents have made for you. They could have had nicer stuff, lived in nicer homes, ate better food, driven sweet cars, but instead, they had five kids.
And the number one thing that I am so grateful for is my parents faith. My dad is a rock. A man who trusts God through everything. His attitude and example has molded the person I am today. He is a fountain of wisdom, and what you see is what you get. His faith in God is evident to all who know him. My mom has the kindest heart imaginable. She is so willing to help anyone who needs it. She is a servant, and her attitude has taught me to love. God has welded these two together, and he has worked on them so much, and he uses them everyday to help a world in need of truth.
To my parents, I say thank you. Thank you so much for all that you have done, for all the sacrifices you have made, for all the sleepless nights, for all of the prayers. And more importantly, thank you for showing me what it truly is to be a Christian. Your lives have changed me. I dont know where I would be without your faith. I know I am at times difficult, cranky, ungrateful, and bitter. But youve truly shown me what life is all about. You are amazing parents and God has blessed me just with the chance to know you.
And to God, I say thank you. Thank you for papa and mom. I just hope that someday, I will have kids of my own, and if I could be half as good of a parent as they were, my children will be blessed.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY/BIRTHDAY
