I must start out by saying that I really am blessed. I've been stressed and grouchy lately because of life. This morning I did some positive thinking because I just really needed to. I discovered I have a lot to be grateful for.
I have my own house to live in. When I wake up in the morning I am in my own semi comfortable bed. I eat off of my own dishes. When I put a mug of water in the microwave it is my mug, water and microwave. I have a washer and dryer to clean my clothes any time I want. I have a car that run well and reliably. The chair I'm sitting in is my own the computer I'm using is mine. I have enough money every month to pay my bills, buy food and sometimes I even have a little extra for fun things. My children all have their own beds to sleep in and toys to play with. Everyday when they wake up they know they are home, that they will eat as much as they need and usually want and they know exactly where they will sleep that night.
Most importantly I have enough of everything I mentioned and I'm grateful enough for it all, to share it with others that aren't as lucky. I now have nine other people living in our home as well as a dog and nine cats outside in a tent, because they have nowhere else to live. This is why Hannah thinks I have lost my mind. I just can't turn people with children away. How would I feel if I had no where to sleep besides my car and everyone, including family wouldn't even let me have their floor for me or my kids to sleep on? Admittedly my yard does look a bit like a camp ground right now but it's all good in the end. I'm just glad to finally be in a position in life to be able to help at all, even if we all end up eating a ton of beans!
