What is Better

I wish I was more grateful for my blessings. Re-stated, I wish I had a thankful heart. I have been given More than I need. I have food, shelter, a job. I also have an amazing family and husband, I have many precious friends. I have been sheltered from true hardship. On this day, there are so many hurting and needing. So many that are battling evil. As I came across this family today that just lost all 4 of their quadruplets, I realized that my problems are not true problems, they are selfish struggles that result from an ungrateful heart. I hope I'm not scaring any of you- Im not dealing with anything major here, and that is the point. I must choose to see the blessings in my life rather than see the negative things that I think need to be fixed. I pray to not overlook what matters, but sit at the feet of the Lord and choose "what is better"....

At the Home of Martha and Mary
38As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"
41"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
