Blessings

Isn't it sad that it usually takes a tragedy - a sad moment - in order for us to stop and think? Here I am worrying about my finances and the impending homesickness that comes with leaving home when I receive a phone call that my friends dad just passed away. And bam, just like that I am snapped back in to reality - the reality of how blessed I am. I have a family, a roof over my head, food to eat, and clothes to wear. In that moment I prayed to God. Then I ran upstairs and gave the man in my life - my Dad - the biggest hug.
