Realizing What You've Already Got

           

We constantly ask for upgrades. We forget the worth of what we already have.

Family.

Is yours disfunctional?

broken?

"crazy"?

It seems like such a common prayer to ask God to fix what we've got. 

How often do we just thank him for what he's already given us?

Maybe your circumstance isn't perfect. 

But at least there is a circumstance.

I have a family. A safe, alive, healthy, loving family.

Could things be better?

Sure.

Do I believe they will be better?

Yes!

But do I have reason to complain?

No way!

God, I Thank you so much for my family. For my parents who raised me with love and instilled the fear of you and passion for you within my heart. Right now we may not all be together but I know that we are united in our hearts because we all have one thing in common- you live with us and in us. Thank you for placing me where you have in life. I appreciate the hand you've dealt me and I wouldn't trade my cards for the world. You know the desires of my heart and I am learning more of yours daily. Let your will be done. 

Jordan- My best friend. You are one of the most beautiful people I have ever known. Your love is genuine and you are not afraid to show it. You work so hard and I am so proud of you for stepping out of the old and into the new this year in your life. Keep going! God is with you every step of the way. 

Joe- You are one of a kind. You are hilarious. My love for you only grows as we grow. I believe in the promises God has for you and I will never stop saying, "Look how far you've come!" This is only the start.

Daddio- You show such great balance in being a real, hardworking, disciplined man, but with the most soft, loving bear hugs and smiles. :) Your constant support means more than you know.

Mom- As I grow up I realize how much influence you've truly had on me as a person. I'm already saying things I never thought I would! haha You are one of the strongest people I know and I am always believing alongside with you in the dreams and visions God gives you. To sum it up I have to say, "thank you."

Love you all,

Grace
