blessed

I do believe that it takes some time for us to admit and truly realize how blessed we are. We, as humans, always focus on what we lack or what more we want. However, we fail to notice what we have and what we should be thankful for. Not only do we take things for granted... but we are simply ignorant to how life might be different.

I know 100% that I am blessed. I have absolutely no doubt that God has provided me with all of my needs. I probably don't have as much money as some people, I probably didn't have the same childhood experiences as most people, and the list goes on and on. However, I do have a family that loves, cares, and supports me. I do have friends that comfort me and make me smile. I have the opportunity to attend college. I do have people praying for me... I have friends who ask how im doing constantly... and so on.

Which brings me to my point...
Sometimes I forget that we are all the same. Everyone has struggles, everyone has problems. No matter if they seem as though they could solve all of life's problems, they still need someone to ask how they're doing or if they need to talk/vent. There are a few people in my life who I consider capable of solving their own problems without hardship and even responsible enough to avoid drama and many other immature problems. I often forget to ask how theyre doing and if they are struggling in any way. I was reminded last night that everyone has problems and everyone has obstacles to overcome no matter how strong, responsible, or mature they are. I forgot that everyone should know that someone actually cares. Im sorry that I took for granted you always asking how I was doing. You always asking if I was struggling in any way. Im sorry I never took the time to ask you how you were doing... always only thinking about myself and venting to you all my life's problem. From now on, I hope to try and remember to ask you how you are. If you are struggling in any way or if someone/something is bothering you. Ive always thought of you as someone who looks out for me and always takes care of me. We all need someone to care.. and Im telling you that I care.

Im blessed with friends that care. Im blessed that God has protected my parents and that they made it out of their car accident. Im blessed with love, comfort, support, and prayers.

Let us not take things for granted and always remember to thank God for everything we have. It is my goal to thank God everyday for something in my life.

Thank you God for...
