Grateful


You know rarely do I sit and ponder the greatness in my life. I tend to have many "woe is me" moments and today faired to be consistant with that method. I then spoke with a beautiful friend of mine, Shane, who reminded me that there are so many things in life to be grateful for: health, family, love, friendships and most importantly the relationship I share with Jesus. What would I do if it weren't for Him? If you have the answer to that question, let me know. So many times I think of what I want, what I need and what would make me happy, when in truth it is what God wants for me that truly matters. Time will bring forth what His true plan for me is, and I am anxious for that outcome. In the meantime I am going to count my blessings and continue to reflect and allow God to guide me in the direction I need to go. Find something to be grateful for today, even the little things in life (of which I find of upmost importance) are significant when all other things look gloomy.

You are golden!! We are all so lucky God gave you to us. You know things could always be worse... and it is our job to take care of ourselves... so we can take care of those who have it worse. Lots of Love <><
