I have ALL that I need...

Several of my friends are going through some really tough times right now:
  • Breast cancer - 1st round of strong chemo on Thursday, 2nd round Christmas Eve
  • Several marriages on the brink of divorce
  • A child who just had 2 brain tumors removed - (who is also a survivor of cancer)
  • A gentleman in the hospital for 11+ weeks being treated for Leukemia
  • A woman of God that has been in my life since I was a child is battling throat cancer
  • Several friends have lost their jobs - with nothing in the pipeline
  • A little girl sleeps on a cold red clay floor 8,000 miles away
If you have a moment, will you please pray for these situations? God knows who they are... they are very dear people to me who need ANYONE who is willing to lift them up to the Heavens in prayer. Prayer is one of the most INTIMATE things you can do for someone else - and you don't even have to know them.

When you look at this list, doesn't it put the minor things that we complain about into perspective... Are you as ashamed about those complaints as I am???

I have my health - my faith - a loving husband - healthy children - a stable job - a warm home - and food on my table. I have EVERYTHING that I need! EVERYTHING.

This is the second time I have typed this so I hope it doesn't post twice.

Thanks for the reminder of the perspective we should have during the Christmas season and all year long. My heart has been sad during this Christmas when I think about what a beautiful, sweet, quiet celebration Jesus' birth should be but yet we have turned this day into utter chaos. Yet we continue to do this year after year.

Please keep blogging. I am enjoying reading. Thanks so much for your friendship.
