I really don't know what to call this entry. Reflections I guess.
We went to pick up our grandson from school today. We were sitting in line waiting and the bus came and parked to pick up students. A van pulled up and the mom got out and opened the back.
The aiide came out with the little girl. She was in a wheel chair and could not hold herself up.
As I watched the mom get the young girl into the van I was struck by what has to be a full time job for any family. We have a son, DIL and 2 grandsons that are doing well and in good health. My hubby and I have health problems but nothing like a young child that is totally helpless. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own problems that we miss the BIG picture. There is always someone worse off than you are. My revelation for today is that if I get up and have a bad day then I will try and remember that little girl that will never run, skip or jump. She will not climb a tree or dive into a swimming pool, she cannot play basketball, tennis, golf, or any other sport. When she gets married she will not walk down the aisle or dance the first dance with her new husband. Sorry if I am on a soap box. Don't mean to be. I just felt the pain of this young girl and the parents that are living with this day in and day out. We are all working through the pain of our disease.
We all have our own specail demons to conquer in our lives. I will not forget that we are blessed in many ways and have much to be thankful for.
I hope everyone has a wonderful night and a great tomorrow. Blessings to all. XOXO pat

Blessed be your name, when I'm found in the desert place, when I walk through the wilderness, blessed be your name (from Matt Redman's song.) We get so wrapped up in ourselves don't we? Good reminder.

Your journal was inspirational today my friend. You are so right about others being worse off than we are. My mother used to say that if we had the chance to swap problems with our neighbor's we would choose to keep our own. Thank you for sharing your discovery today! Have a good weekend and thank you for sending me good wishes on my absence since surgery. love, marcia

Thank you for sharing that story. At times we tend to narrow our focus on ourselves and need to be reminded that there are always others whose situation is much worse than ours. Thanks for helping me to refocus.
