Katie's prayer: Mary Mary's "Good to Me"

When I think about my blessings

I'm telling you God's been good to me

I think it's really easy for me to focus on the negatives of my life. I need this, my life would be so much better if I had this, if things went this way things would be better. I get so caught up in the what if's and could be's that might make my life better, that I forget to stop and look at what I have and be thankful. Today, being thanksgiving and all, makes me really stop and consider all my blessings. So what if I can't afford much more than the necessities, at least I can afford them. So what if I have to deal with the stress of two part time jobs, at least I have a job. So what if my family and half my friends are far away, they are people who would do anything for me. I could go on and on. So many things that I normally look on as burdens, when you look closer, they are really blessings.
