WE DON'T HAVE ANY COOKIES!

So today I was complaining because I didn't have any cookies....or ice cream...or anything "good" and then I remembered...

My friend has a little sister who's about 4 years old who just got put into ICU because she caught pneumonia, has a hole in her heart, and something really wrong with her lungs, just to name a few things. I've been praying for her and stuff but as I was complaining about my lack of cookies....I suddenly thought... Waaaaaait a second....is that really important compared to what that family is going through? Or the people in Haiti? Or all the people who've lost their jobs in the past year?

Not to say that my little troubles and worries aren't important, but I think sometimes we forget to look at the whole picture. Like...is this really worth making a big deal about compared to all the other problems people are having? Just a thought....

So maybe next time you run out of cookies, instead of complaining...say a prayer for all the other people who don't have cookies. Etc, etc, etc. :)
