And then,

Lately I have been feeling tired. Tired, and overworked. I feel as if the world is demanding too much of me. Work, school, friends, family, bills, necessities, and all those other "little" things. I just want to go home, go to sleep and for all of it to GO AWAY!

And then,
I see pictures of Haiti. I see people was started out poor as dirt(in a more literal sense than we can imagine) and who have somehow managed to loose more.
~
And then,
I listen in chapel to a service on the hundreds of people on our own back doorstep that are so much less fortunate.
~
And then,
I think of the millions of Americans alone, who have no job to complain about.
Those who cannot afford to go to school.
Those who see my necessities as extravagances.
~
And then,
I think, that maybe, "Life" expects so much from me, because God has given so much to me.
~
And then,
I think that I would rather . . .
Be tired than dead.
Overworked than jobless.
Have rent due than be homeless.
Have homework than be illiterate.
Be bugged by family and friends than be alone.

And then,
I thank God.
