Dear Friend,

It’s the holiday season and for many, this is a depressing time of year. One of the hardest things to do is to realize that we are blessed with what we have and that it could be worse.

Someone with a one bedroom apartment is not content with it, because they want a bigger apartment, but there is someone that would love to have a one bedroom apartment. The person with the studio apartment is not content with it, because they want a one bedroom apartment, but there is someone that would love to have a studio apartment. The person sleeping under a bridge is not content with it, because they want a studio apartment, but there is someone that would love to be sleeping under a bridge. The person given two weeks to die of Cancer desires the health of the person sleeping under a bridge, but there is someone that would love to have two weeks to die of Cancer. The person in hell would love to have two weeks to die of Cancer, because they would have time to accept Jesus and have a home in Heaven.

In short, we need to realize that it could be worse and that there is someone that would love to be where we are. There are a countless number of people that would love to have a loved one incarcerated, because it would mean that they could still speak with them on the phone or write a letter and receive a letter in return. Their loved one has died and they cannot speak with them or get a return letter. Realize that though you are hurt it could be worse and that you are Blessed to have a loved one incarcerated and not in the grave.
