Comfort

What is comfort? Anyone and everyone will probably answer this question differently. I have thought a lot about comfort these past couple of weeks. Comfort, to me, is watching "Friends" and thinking about when Hannah and I used to watch it and fall asleep together; it's the smell of fresh cut grass and manure and remember how my dad would come in from working in the yard; it's finding a song with a good beat that I can dance to; it's Psalm 100 and not only because it declares the awesomeness of our Lord but it's the most used bible verse my dad puts in cards he gives me.
Being comfortable and/or comforted is not something we normally think about until we don't have it. I have found the most comforting thing to me as I get older (right after God of course) :) is my family. When I first left for college 4 years ago, I would call my family every few weeks just to give them an update on my life. Sure, I missed them, but so much was going on then. Now, 4 years later and back in college, I can't go more than a few days without talking to them. Spending 2 years at home, living with my parents, and having my entire family become my closest friends, makes me so grateful that the Lord has blessed me with such an amazing family.
