"Life"

As I sit, thinking about all that I am, all that I go through and just life in general. I realize that I am blessed. Even with this current situation (lymphedema) I do not have a lot of complaints. I have a loving family and a friend that means the world to me. I have fairly good health (smile), shelter, food, a vehicle (that's paid for), and a job where every single day I help people that are so much less fortunate than I. It makes me almost ashamed to utter a word of complaint...yet I do.

I look at the two legs that I have and think about the pain, then I realize what a blessing that I can even feel pain. I know that may sounds crazy but I am told of a condition that amputees have where they feel pain in a limb that's not even there. mmmmm.

I serve a God who loves me and knows every fault and fear that I have, yet he loves me anyway. I live in a country, where I am free to worship the God of my choice as often as I choose...yet I complain. The sad thing is in a few days, I may be complaining again! But know that I realize that "it ain't all bad". I will get into a funk where I am down right depressed, and feel woe it's me. But I will be ok! because what??? I AM BLESSED.

We're blessed in the city, we're blessed in the fields, we're blessed when we come and when we go...WE ARE BLESSED!
