So, Yesterday (Dec 12th 2011) Was the day Catholic religion celebrates the Virgin Mary. Personally I do not consider myself the "religious" type, BUT I am VERY spiritual, and Because unfortunately I don't go to church on Sundays (like i should) I don't consider myself a devout Catholic.
I understand that Church is a place for worship but I feel as though I can pay my respects and gratitude from home. I know the lord hears my prayers no matter where I am. I find comfort in knowing that.
So, as I was laying in bed last night giving thanks as I usually do, I find myself immensely thankful for both everything I DO have and everything I do NOT have.
I count my blessings everyday. I may not have the things I want but I have the things I NEED. At this point in life I would like to think that the "Essentials" are the most important. God does not give you what you what when you want it. That's the beauty of life, you don't expect things, you just have faith and let things happen. If we got what we wanted all the time,There would be no "surprise" factor. life would just be....routine?...
I know I get upset and inpatient sometimes because I WANT a little family of my own. I ponder whether or not I'm meant to have a baby, but at the same time I guess I am very blessed NOT to be a parent yet. because as much as I want to have something to call my own and raise and love. I want exactly THAT to be proud of me. I want my child to have a ROLE MODEL. to have someone to there who practices what they preach, and I know the lord had a beautiful life planed out for me. "All in its time". so in a way that is one of many blessing I count every night before bed.
Live Life and Be Grateful<3
