So I've pretty much realized that i am selfish, and prideful, and many more negative adjectives.
I'm watching this show on TLC about kids who are born with progeria, an incurable disease in which the child is 7 years old for every actual year of their life.
Which is why most of them don't make it to, or past their teenage years. They go through a lot of medical problems, and they are very frail. I don't have to acknowledge all the social rejection they receive, we all know the world is cruel, and it is temporary. Praise God. Still It breaks my heart to see how sad their life is. It's more sad to see that they are some of the happiest people alive, bc I think I have it so bad when i can't meet some stupid expectation to obtain "happiness". There I was last night boo-hooing about some temporary problems. God oughta put me in my place. I guess that's what he's doing now though.
Let this be an illustration to all of us. We are blessed beyond our circumstances.
