No not really. I have my problems just like anyone else but I'm truly lucky and have it much easier than most other people in this world. I'm grateful.
Right! I've been hungery, yet I have never endured true starvation. Thirsty, yet never without clean water. I've been cold, but never too long without some form of shelter. My body aches, but is still functional, healthy, and intact. Lot's of people have, many have even died because of them.
Could always be tougher. I won't complain. Friends will be there for me when needed, and besides a cold I'm doing good health wise. It's a lovely pic of the little guy, and even he is smiling I'm so thankful that my kids are healthy. Hmm.
Yesterday was a great day as I got to talk to two of my best friends that live in other states and we had a good time laughing and joking. So life isn't all that bad at times. Seeing that picture just makes me realize how lucky I am to have come home in one piece. Feel down? Just grab your phone and call some old friends and enjoy !
Why wouldn't he smile? He is a child. He was not told that he has a reason to grieve. His spirit is still intact and he is happy because that is the natural state of all God's creatures. Only an adult would turn this into a tragedy. He has every chance to have a happy life. All he has to do is keep this attitude. Of course, he probably won't when he evolves into a thinking, complaining adult, but he is starting out right. Most children don't want to be unhappy. It takes very little to cause their true spirits to shine forth.
Now pain? That is another story. I know he went through hell before this brace thing happened. But children seem to be very resilient.
I've had my share of grief. yet my problems pale in comparison to how others conline to suffer. I hold on to my hope for a better future, most don't believe in such a belief. (1peter 3:13)
