I have to admit, lately I've been a little down, a little distant from God, and a little tired of always praying to Him for the same thing (I have been praying for one BIG thing in particular for almost 4 years) only to hear what seems to be silence. But I have to stop in my tracks and look at all I do have. I am among the accounted. I have been to Guatemala and a few other places that are so riddled with poverty and lack. Those scenes of little children, dirty and hungry, selling Chicklets on the streets flashes back in my mind and I feel ashamed at my pettiness and ungratefulness.
I must focus on what I do have, like two magnificent children, a family that loves and encourages me, a place to live (while not home, it is safe and warm), food, a secure job, shoes on our feet, a 10 year old car, and consignment clothes on our back. We are rich. We are blessed. I am thankful.
I pray that all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving day, and that this will lead you into a Christmas season full of blessings.

Oh Terri, please know you are NOT alone. Big hugs, Rhonda
Isn't it awesome how our just looking at our children can teach us so much?! Sometimes all Andy wants is a laugh from me and a big hug. FREE. There is a time when you are meant to get your wish of 4 years... there is. And when it comes, it will be such perfect timeing that you just won't believe it. :-) Take Care and Happy Thanksgiving!

We can all forget the blessings we do have when there are things we still wish for and want and need. Nothing wrong with continuing to want to improve your life and your girls lives! Hope you had a great day and a great weekend!
