Rita's surprise party

It is really amazing to me the way that God can use simple things to cause us to realize how REALLY blessed we are.
I just returned from my (un-saved) twin sisters birthday party and I must admit that I did enjoy myself. There is a bond with family members that you will always have even if you walk two different paths. I enjoyed seeing my two sisters and both of my parents as well as some old friends that I use to hang with in my wilder days. I also made friends with a number of the folks that "hang out" with my sister and her kids. I am praying that God will give me favor with these young people.
Back to the blessings that we have....
As I was at my sisters party I realized how really sad and lonely most peoples lives really are. Even though on the surface they seem to be whooping it up and having a good time, deep down they are lonely.
All they really want in life is to be happy, have friends that really care about them and a companion that is faithful.
I am really blessed. Thanks to God, I have all of these things and more!!!!
