a food I am thankful for

Daddy's Sunday breakfast. basically, his eggs are. the. best.  The tradition started before i was born and it still continues. Dad makes breakfast on Sunday mornings. Typically it is eggs, bacon, and toast. and no one ever complains. It is just that good!  :) Thanks daddy for Sunday morning breakfast!

"... and so many mornings, I'd say, 'Mom, I don't want to go to school toady.' And she'd push me out the door with my brother and sister and say,
'Don't you kids know that life is made up of ordinary days when there's no one to praise you? When there's no one to honor you? When there's no one to see how brave and noble you are? Almost all of life is made up of ordinary days. And it's how you live your ordinary day's that determines whether or not you have big moments. Get out there and make something of your ordinary days.'
And I'd stumble out the door in tears. And I still remember the last day in my large high school. My sister and I were on the platform to receive little awards but a lot of kids could make A's. And we were getting scholarships but whoever heard of Northwest Nazarene College? And when they would make the announcements, the students would give slight applause and they would go on. And then the Principal called Jan and me. He said,
 'We're Hindus and Buddhists, but these two girls came and brought their God to our campus. They've changed our world.' And I can only remember the applause and it never seemed to end.
I was speechless. I can remember the tears dripping off my chin....    'through the thousands of ordinary days when I wanted to give up, it paid. It pays to be true. It pays to follow Jesus.'
And I went to college and faced good days and ordinary days. But when I was a junior, it came to me. 'Ann, either you are going to follow Jesus Christ to the end or not follow Him at all.' "
