Reflections after talking with my Parents

I have got a bad case of the "wants"! If I can't be content with the blessing that God has already graciously given to me (Jesus, Judd, My family, My health, My Job, My friends and neighbors), how will I ever be content or happy or at rest?

I remember wanting to get married, or when I wanted to get a dog (I was never this distraught about those things for the record - more marriage than the dog). After a while, you begin to want something else I guess. After a child, will I want another one? Will I want my children to do something? Will I just want them to grow up and leave the house? Will I want to retire? I don't know. But I do know that I will want something.

Lord, forgive me for not focusing on and being thankful for the amazing blessings you have already poured out upon me! Forgive me for wanting more! Help me to rest in you and be content.

In His Hands,
Katy
