I have been watching the news coverage on Hurricane Katrina today and it has really gotten me thinking about things. The last few days I have been really frustrated with our house and our finances, but now after watching all the devistation in the gulf coast I am finding myself rethinking all my frustrations. Even thought I really don't like our house and really want to move the reality of it is that I have a house to live in, I have a computer that I am using right now, I have a comfortable bed I will sleep in tonight. I have a lot of things. Even though I really don't like our house, I have to realize that I am very blessed to have the things I do have. I can't even imagine loosing everything that I have like people in New Orleans did. I have so much in comparison to those that have lost everthing. In reality it doesn't matter that my house is what I jokingly refer to as a "ghetto house". I need to just be thankful that I have a house and that my family is all safe and secure under one roof.
I just seriously can't pull myself away from the tv today. I am still in shock of all the devistation from the hurricane. I really can't imagine being trapped with no food or water. I can't imagine loosing family members or even worse watching them die in the hurricane and being forced to leave them behind. I just can't imagine it. (I know I've said that already, but I am just seriously in shock).

Things like this really help to put things into perspective. We receive some of the heavy rains from that same low pressure system. I went out in the morning to see if my fish pond flowed over. It hit me that here I was concerned that my fish were dead and so many others had lost everything . Lord forgive me for my selfishness.
