Speak it, Lady K! You speak with a lot of wisdom and maturity. I'm so thankful for this reminder. I'm truely sorry that you can't sleep. My brother has similar problems, so I know a little of what it's like. I'll be praying for you
To add to what you were saying, though, I was in a very third-world country this summer, and I saw people living in Cardboard houses on top of a trash dump. And I heard of 2000+ people getting their homes destroyed so the nation could build a fancy hotel with guards all around, "to help the economy." It really got me thinking on how blessed my life actually is, where I have a home and food to eat...and I realized that we all complain in what we consider the "bad" times far too much. I mean, We complain about paper cuts, yet there are people out there with no fingers at all, and they are happier than we are.
and the sad thing is, One man's pain is another man's joke...little humbling, but from my expirience it far too commonplace.
