We are so fortunate...

...and I ask anyone who reads this to stop RIGHT.NOW. and say a prayer for those who are less fortunate than us. Those who have nothing. Those who have no one. Orphaned kids living in a violent world. People who have been ostracized and live a life of loneliness. People digging in dumpsters for food or warm coats. People struggling with mental illness and feel hopeless. People fighting life-threatening illnesses who are suffering day in and day out. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the pettiness of our comfortable little world. How dare I curse the fact that I have to "drag my baby to the store in the rain" because we are completely out of toilet paper? How can I be so lazy and ungrateful???!!

Today, I personally ask for prayers for Emilie, a mother of two young boys who is struggling with tumor regrowth, who is in the hospital away from her kids, away from her normal life, who is sad and scared and wondering. Please pray for her. Pray that she may find healing and strength and hope and comfort.

Life seems so unfair sometimes.
