So often I find myself complaining about the smallest things. They definitely seem big to me but compared to things that could go wrong, they're small. I have SO much to be thankful for that I really shouldn't even have the time to be complaining. God had truly been good to me. To be born in America is one of the biggest blessings that I've been given and yet so often I never even stop and thank the Lord for it. We take so much for granted. I was listening to a program the other day about life in Sudan. The pain and misery that's over there was almost to much to comprehend. People die everyday from starvation and infections (infections that can be treated with simple antibiotics.) Humans are sold as slaves and girls as young as 10 are sold to be "wives". How sad is that? My heart about broke when I heard of some of the incidents that happen. There is not a real system of law; if you have the gun then you're the one who's boss. That's basically how it's ran. So how are they supposed to stop people from killing others and taking the kids to sale? Ever since I heard that program my heart has been heavy for them. I wish I could do more than just pray for them, however, prayer is the strongest thing that can be done for them. I'm not sure how I got on this subject but I just wanted to share with everyone how I was feeling! The next time you're having a bad day just stop and think of how much worse it could be (and I am also talking to myself!!)!! We are soooo blessed!!!
