Truly Thankful!!

There are so many thoughts tonight as I sit down to my computer.  I don't even know what to write about.  I have to admit that I was very overwhelmed earlier tonight once again by our needs, and what we don't have.  Sometimes it's really hard to be going through the trials that we are.  But I am so thankful for the wonderful husband that God has given me.  I know that he is doing all that he can to provide for my family and I love that.  But I will admit I was having a little pity party earlier.  And then the day is finally done and I am able to come on  and I read my niece's blog from Haiti.  She is serving the Lord on a missions trip there, and I make sure to read her blog to see how things are going.  We are so blessed here, it is unbelievable.  I know that they are seeing it first hand, but even seeing it through pictures is enough to know.  To hear that children are excited about a simple lollipop.  The same lollipop that I can get at the bank for free for my kids has them so excited.  Really puts things into perspective for me.  I need to be thankful that I am in a country where I have so much, and I am thankful for this reminder.  I have 3 beautiful and healthy kids and a house to live in with 4 walls and a roof that keeps me dry!  How much do I have!!  Wow!!
