You know there are really only two issues I find that I have right now in my life: money and marriage. I am not homeless, hungry, or ill (mentally or physically). So when I find myself upset that we've run out of money again or I have to drive my husband 'round town and wait two hours late at night with sleepy kids, God usually grabs me by the ear and reminds me, I'm not that bad off.
Even though I may be completely exhausted without a dime in my pocket, I will have a house to go back to tonight with a bed in it and warm air and food in my fridge (even if its not good for me). I will have my kids by my side and a husband, a partner who's around none-the-less.
I have always had a soft spot in my heart for homeless people. Especially mothers with children or older women. They are braver and more courageous and more humble than I could imagine myself to be. And in a strange sort of way more hopeful than they appear. There but for the grace of God go I.
So sometimes, I have to remember that even though I don't have a fairytale marriage or I am not debt free, I have more than most people the world over could ask for. and whether a way is made or not financially, I. am. ok.
