Worry then so blessed

We cant help but to worry we are only human. Its easy for people to say dont worry about it what is meant to happen will happen. Easier said than done. I have been trying for a long time to understand why things happen to certain people and not to others or the other way around. But its not for me to figure out its Gods way of teaching people in different ways. Although it is hard sometimes just to let things go and realize you are better off without that certain thing or doing that certain thing you ARE much better off. I wanted a new camera and had the oppurtunity to get a great one at a great price but the funds just werent there at the time. Christmas time is here, unexpected expenses and trying to save money it just wasnt gonna work. So I put it all out there I said I would like to take pictures at a very cheap price to get my name out and learn in the process and make some extra cash to save. I had a few hits but no set times I was getting a little disappointed and was having my own little pitty party about what I didnt have and why I didnt have it and everyone else can do whatever they want and still have money to blow blah blah blah. Then I realized those people probably dont get what they want either, they are probably in debt and then there are others that are starving for things that I just throw away and dont count as a blessing and should. So I woke up this morning with a different outlook on things. Like Christmas the reason for the season is giving and that is what we are asked to do. Do for those who cant do for themselves. I was going down the road and my phone started blowing up.. I am now BOOKED the next 3 weekends with pictures 9 different families~! God always provides when we least espect it. He is always looking out for us if we would open our eyes and heart and closes our mouths and stop begging. He provides what we NEED not always what we WANT. So I said all this to say I am truly blessed and alot more people out there dont have half as much as me. That is why next year at Christmas we are giving back. Mackenzie will get 3 gifts like the wisemen brought to the Manager and get God back in Christmas for those around us and Pray that Mackenzie will grow up to appreciate everything she has. I want to start adopting an angel off the tree and letting  Mackenzie choose things for them to give to them for Christmas that way she can learn to give also. We dont realize how blessed we are until we go without or see what someone else has gone through. We do the shoebox ministry but I just feel like that isnt enough because we have so much more to give. I pray that this year you will look back on all your blessings that God has given you and you thank him for everyone of them because the only reason why we have anything is because of HIM and HIM alone. Lets do our best to give back to HIM and put CHRIST back in CHRISTMAS!!
