The Things I Have

Today, I got some unexpected news. To make a long story short, a lot of the things I used to have, are now gone. I know that is the most vague description ever written, but it's all I can give right now. I still don't know how to process the loss. One one hand, material things come and go. But on the other hand, these material items hold certain sentimental value, thus making them invaluable. At least to me.

So, in the midst of lost I thought, what better to do than remember all that I have. Especially non material items.

I have friends and family who love me unconditionally and intentionally. I do not have to do anything to sustain or earn their love. They give it freely and in great abundance.

I have my faith, which enables me to overcome any and all things. It is a constant reminder than I am more than my situations and circumstances. My faith reminds me that when I wake up in the morning, the day is new. Yesterdays issues are left in yesterday, and can only come into today if I bring them along with me.

I have myself. I am a strong force. I have a destiny so great, I can not even comprehend it yet. I have all of the makings for greatness. My will to persevere, to survive, and to be all that I know (and even that I don't know) that I can be are far greater than anything that dares to hold me back.

The things I have will always be greater than the things I've lost. Live positive.
