Why me?

Today I have been struck by this question. Why have You given me so much? Why have I been so blessed? I do not deserve it. I have lived a charmed life. While there have been struggles, I haven't had true crisis...I mean even our road of infertility was relatively short and ended happily with a son and daughter (and maybe more one day). I've never wondered where money for a tank of gas will come from or how I will pay my rent/mortgage. I've never watched my husband fight for his life in the ICU. I've never wondered if my husband would be there in the morning. I've never felt the loss of a parent or sibling. I've never battled facing a new day. I don't know what it's like to have a child with unique challenges. I've never even taken my children to the ER. But I know others have...and I know others walk many other tough roads - a crumbling marriage, financial ruin, death, infertility, disabilities, severe illness, depression, and the list goes on. So why me? Why have you allowed me to live with such blessings? I am at a loss, and I pray that I am faithful with what you have entrusted to me.

In this stressful world,
Yours is the presence that quiets me,
The voice that calms me,
The touch that comforts me…
…the love that helps me remember what is most important

in each day.

You’re everything to me.
