Saddened and Angry?

(my spell check isn't working...pardon)

I am both! Yep! I am angry that I feel like a selfish person. I am sitting here by the grace of God blogging. Yes, I have my yuck....but I am so lucky and blessed too. My daughter, my husband, a roof over my head, a part time job. Things aren't perfect but my needs are met plus more. I am finding myself and others worried about cold coffee, traffic jams, and wrinkled pants. All this while Japan is devistated.

I am sooo saddened! The tragedy in Japan has been on my heart since it has happened. I ask God why has this been weighed on me...I am praying and I am crying over this tradgedy. I have more than they do at this time and at one point I thought I had nothing...even then, I still had more then, than what Japan has now. So what am I to do? I am asking my Facebook family to pray. I ask Twitter to pray! I am praying. I know God is hearing them. I ask that you pray too. I know the people of Japan are covered in His grace and that He will hold them and cover them.

Maybe I am the only one who thinks this way...maybe not. I don't know.

And in the process we do need to carry on with our lives. Being the friend, the mom, the wife or husband that we need to be. I had a blessed weekend with my family. In between all the horrible headlines and news casts. My daughter has begun to pray from her heart and she is learning to pray for others from her heart as well. While God doesn't create tragedy, He uses the opportunity to bring us closer to Him. I see that with Natalee.

I believe we need to appreciate life for what it is. Devistation could be around the corner. Be greatful, kind caring and loving. Look for the small times of happiness or create them. It could all be gone in a blink of an eye. And then we will have the beautiful memories if tragedy does strike. Life is good. God is good. And His mercy, His gracious, gracious mercy is forever!
