In many, many ways. First of foremost, I am saved by Jesus’ blood. I am blessed to have a husband who loves me unconditionally even though I don’t deserve it most days. I have five beautiful, healthy children who are the light of my life. I have a nice house, great friends, enough to eat (more than enough most days~but that’s another post!), all the necessities of life- maybe not all the wants, but that’s okay. I honestly couldn’t ask for more than I have.
I pray all the time for my family’s safety, as I’m sure most mother’s do. I do not understand how or why bad things happen to good people like my friend Tammy and her family. I do not understand why babies die too soon or why they get sick or why mothers lose their unborn children before they even get to hold them. I do not understand how people can abort a baby growing inside of them because they think it’s just “tissue”. There are lots of things I do not understand about this life and this world. I know one day I will have all the answers, but right now I do not and it stinks. I am so sad for my friend that I almost cannot bear it, but yet thankful it isn’t me. That it isn’t my child. I feel so guilty for that. Then I ask the question, “why isn’t it me”. What did I do so great? Other people go to church more than me, are better Christians than me, and they suffer such tragedies. Why? Why? Why?
Thank you Lord for blessing me even though I do not deserve all that I have. Thank you Lord for my beautiful children and my husband. I pray for their health and welfare as well as my own. I pray for my friends, family, and strangers whom I don’t even know. Lord Thank you because I know that I am truly, simply blessed. I know all blessings come from you Lord.
