We live in moments. One moment you can be fine and 2 seconds later living in self-pity throwing the pity party of the year (well at least the month).
I've stated before that sometimes Facebook is evil. Not that Facebook in and of itself is bad but because thanks to Facebook I know things about people that otherwise I probably wouldn't keep up with. At times this is great and I like it. At other times though it's a reminder of what I want and don't have. Tonight I found out 3 people were expecting. 2 married a year after us the year we started trying one of those this is #2 and the other married a month before. And before you say I should be happy for them understand it's not that I'm not but that it's a reminder of what I don't have.
Which is funny. I've seen a lot of Veggie Tales but today while babysitting we watched Madame Blueberry. That's what I'm watching right now. It's amazing the things God does to teach you and get you through those moments. The reminder to be thankful and have a grateful heart for what I have now. I know this is talking about material stuff but it still applies now. I'm sure there will be days that I'm going I really wished for this???? I need to be grateful for the moment. And I have an awesome understanding friend I can text late and reveal my pain who doesn't judge me or say it shouldn't hurt but says wow yeah that sucks.
So I choose to be thankful for a God who loves me and sees me through the good and bad moments and sends me understanding friends in the bad moments.
