TODAY

Waking up in the morning is one of the basic actions you will perform everyday. But compared to the past days of my life, today is totally different. Because I feel great, and the moment I reach the living room and see my two boys watching TV, it becomes even better. I sit on the sofa, then notice someone walking towards us. It is my wife. She greets me and prepares my breakfast. What a wonderful feeling! (I don't want to use a question mark here, because it's really a wonderful feeling!) As I wait, I am thinking I'm a king with all of these graces that surround me.

My wife prepares everything; my uniform, shoes and she even cuts my finger and toe nails. I don't ask that from her, but she's doing it. I know she loves me so much that's why words could not be enough for her. For me, action will supplement what words can't compel.

Before I go to school I look at my wonderful sons running around the house. They are laughing, shouting and doing too much noise which makes our home alive and vibrant. Then they will ask questions like "Why do you go to school?" and I just answer them as intelligently as I can.

Before I got this wonderful family, waking up in the morning was just a way of starting a day. An action which was automatically performed, because if not yesterday could have been the last. It's an opportunity to say "thanks, I woke up and will have another chance for greatness".

But after performing this action several times. I didn't bother to think that someday there would be changes until I met my wife. It became more astounding when our precious children came. On events like this, resting is not important. Because I love to stay awake and look at the gifts He has been giving me.

I'm very happy having a life like this, I don't expect richness or even greatness to come in my way. Right now, in my place under the sun, I already found what everyone is looking for; that is, happiness with Him.
