God it's me, Kate...



Complaints:
Why do good people have to suffer? I understand bad things happen in this fallen world but why drag an ailing person through pain. I just see it as unnecessary and mean.
I don’t understand why some of us have so much yet cannot realize how blessed we truly are. To some extent I’m frustrated for you at myself.

Requested:
Let the sick and suffering know that they are loved and not forgotten.
Help with people’s jobs and incomes, let them have enough to get by.
Let my mom know I love her, today and every day. Allow me to show it better.
Give Edel the strength to keep doing math problems for a real long time.
Make sure Lucy isn’t picked up too much by the older girls.
Let certain friends know that one day they will be with loved ones again.
Give President Obama wisdom and courage to do what is right.
Take care of everyone I love and those who I may not love.
Allow me to find you even when I’m not looking.
Teach me patience and let me feel calm even in the unknown.
Let me live my love for you.


Gratitude:
Thanks for the delicious kman meal at dinner and the even better conversation with a friend.
Thanks for the good health that my family has.
Thanks for allowing me a car, gas, and alertness to drive to see my best friend’s last game.
Thanks for not tuning your back on me even when I doubt you.
Thank you for my new second cousin Cole Benjamin.
Thank you for things I don’t even realize yet.
Thank you for my many great friends, who all make me better in their own ways.
Thanks for being my big man upstairs.
