I Want What You Have

What you take for granted, someone is praying for. Some people don't realize how blessed they really are. I look at people suffering with disabilities, and those who have perfect health; I know in the back of a disabled person's mind, they envy the person with perfect health. What comes naturally for most people, others struggle with. I can't stand people who take their blessings for granted. Those are the first ones to bellyache when something goes wrong. Sometimes, God will take away your good fortune to let you know there are those who are less fortunate, that will appreciate YOUR good health, talent(s), or social status. If I had the ability, I would make every ungrateful person walk a mile in the shoes of someone who's less fortunate; see how that turns out. I bet you those ungrateful people will straighten up REAL fast. No one wants to go back to struggling, especially if they remember what it took to get where they're at. Those are the people I admire, because they are humble. Humility goes a long way, remember that. You have some people who complain, no matter how great things are going. I want to say, "What are you bellyaching about? You have everything going for you, and then some, and you're crying? There are people that have to work harder than you to get the same opportunities. If anything, THOSE people have reason to bellyache." I will say this, to those who had a good start in life: BE GRATEFUL! Appreciate your good fortune, because there's others with the odds stacked against them, that try to catch a break, only to have doors repeatedly slammed in their face. When I start being ungrateful, I check myself because there's always someone worse off than me. I don't glorify anyone's suffering (I pray for their deliverance), but I am grateful that I don't have worse struggles than some people.
