Thankfulness

For a couple of weeks now, I've been a reader of Bring The Rain. A beautiful blog, written by a mommy who lost her little girl.. I would really like to encourage you to go read her story, it's so amazing and powerful... And it makes me so grateful.

Because really, who am I to carry this precious little girl in my womb? Who am I to be blessed with a healthy child, that has all her fingers & toes as far as we know?

God blesses us so much every day and often we don't even realize it. We moan and groan about the things that aren't going our way, but how often do we stop and look at what we do have? How often do you stop and realize that having a roof over your head, food on your table, a family, friends and God is SO much to be thankful for? Sure, the dryer breaks, the garbage disposal breaks and they break on the same day. So what? In the end, does that really matter?

Does it really matter that you can't have everything you want? It doesn't. In the end, it all comes down to family, friends and God. And isn't that what we should be thankful for every minute of every day?
