Thankful for what we have

My new car has been having troubles. This is the second time it has happened. When I go to start it, it wont start. Then I wait for 3 days and it will start again using the different key. I'm sure it is a security thing, but I don't know exactly how my warranty works and I don't want to have to pay a lot of money so I am trying to get it figured out. Also, my laundry room pipes are still frozen. My husband is doing all the laundry because I am a weakling and can't lift the heavy buckets full of water out. It is not such an easy task but we are still able to do the laundry. You might wonder why I am even talking about this. Well, it is to say that I am having some hard times right now but I still have a house. I still have heat. I still have my 5 beautiful children with me everyday and I know where they are and that they are safe. I still have the opportunity to blog. I still have a job. I am still able to go to school. I still have my wonderful husband sleeping next to me every night. I am still able to pick up the phone and call my dad and brother and sister and tell them that I love them. We are still able to call Vita's parents and tell them that we love them. We are so blessed even though our cars wont start and we have frozen pipes. Every time I turn on the TV or the computer I am looking at pictures of Haiti. They already had such a hard time, and now this earthquake happens. One of my very close friends adopted such a beautiful little boy from Haiti. I love this little boy and was so happy for her when he came into their lives. I can't stop thinking about them now and what they are going through as a family. I hope she knows that my family and I are praying for them. I hope that his Haitian mom is ok. I hope that all their Haitian Roots kids are ok. I hope that she is ok and her heart wont hurt too bad, which I know it is. I hope that we can get a lot of help sent there for these people. I am so sorry that they are going through this. It really makes my little problems seem less of problems. We could be so much worse off and I am thankful that we aren't. Heather, please know that we are praying for them and if there is anything we can do, please don't hesitate to ask.
