Blessed

Today while driving to meet my Dad for lunch I am caught listening to my children laughing at each other in the back seat and I think to myself I am so blessed. I have felt so sorry for myself lately and have been so discouraged in the hunt for a job. And at this exact moment I stop and thank God for all that he is given me. I say that I am more fortunate than most. I am able to drive a car with my two beautiful children sitting in the backseat to a restaurant to eat overpriced food with my family.
I say this because at this exact moment my eyes begin to tear up because there are people in this world that don't have cars or unable to have children there are homeless people and people that are starving and those who can't afford to put clothes on their back.
And then there is me a person that just yesterday felt so sorry for myself because I can't find a job. But look what I have! I am rich in so many other ways.
Today all I could do is thank God for all he has blessed me with in my life. No more feeling sorry for myself, I am done with that. I am onto feeling blessed and knowing that in life what is meant to be will be and God has great plans for me.
