Blessed

So, my brother and I were taking a walk tonight around the neighborhood and we got to talking. we were talking about what a pretty night it was, and might i add it was gorgeous. So im sitting here thinking and talking, and we start talking about our blessings. How often do we really, i mean really, think about how truly blessed we are. There is a lake in my neightborhood and Logan and i were both like think about it, that lake is so small in comparison to the whole world God created, but this lake alone, is…beautiful. And we can never take for granted the little blessings we have. So, Logan and I continue our walk and i was listing all the things i was thankful for, all of the blessings i have. They were the following: obvisously my friends and family and my house–you know the easy ones. But then i was like how often to we thank God that we have legs to walk. Here i am, completely able to walk around my neighborhood any time i want, and i just take it for granted. think about how many people are born without legs, or are sick and have to get them removed, or whatever awful thing happened. and we just walk everywhere like its no big deal. guys these people would give anything to be in our position… we have sooooo much. we don’t wonder where our next meal is coming from, we don’t wash our clothes in dirty water, we have a new clean outfit to wear everyday, we have nice cars to drive, we have roofs over our heads we have sooo much and we just take it for granted…or at least i know i do sometimes. but guys i’m just asking you too look around and be thankful for what you have and quit complaining about what you don’t. be thankful. and thank God you are so blessed.
