I can

Do you ever wonder why things happen? Where is the"good" in a tragedy? What are we supposed to learn from the senseless death of small children? Today, the lesson is lost on me.

• I can thank God for my blessings

• I can be more empathetic towards people who suffer from mental illness

• I can not worry about the small stuff and be glad that I have small stuff to worry about

• I can pray for the families that have suffered during a time that they should be rejoicing in the birth of our Lord 

• I can pray that there is more world wide understanding and assistance for mental illness

• I can appreciate what I have in my life and not take for granted that I will always have it

• I can't make someone else's pain go away, but I can pray that they will find peace and accept what has happened. 

Until next week.......
