I have been blessed!

Sometimes I take my life for granted, but I have a lot to be thankful for. First I have a friend that sticks closer than a brother and he loves me no matter how bad and unlovable I am. He doesn't get mad or bring up past mistakes, but instead he gives me new mercies every morning. Then I have another special guy that is there for me even when I have hard times and he doesn't judge me for it. He is patient even when I am ugly. I have parents that love me and each  other. They put aside their dreams and do what is best for us because they love us more than anything else. I have sisters and a brother that bring sunshine into my life and make me either laugh at them or with them, either way it's always fun! I am healthy, maybe even too healthy. I could definitely have it a lot worse. The water that I complain about drinking is desperately needed in other places, but I don't think about that. I just think about how I don't like the  taste. I have never been in a major accident or had anything really bad happen to me, because for some reason God has chosen to bless me. I have no idea what it is like to have to fight for survival or to live in nasty areas and I've never had to worry about whether or not I would have food on the table. God has chosen to bless me. I need to be more thankful and use those blessings to glorify him.
