So today we got a new TV for an early Christmas present from my grandma, (my dad and brother wanted it for football season) and as I walked into the house from graces house i saw it. I was very impressed, I asked if we had actually TV stations now and they said no. So this is where I actually get to the point, after they said that we still only had the basic channels (6, 12) I said
"Oh, that's dumb"
Right after I said it I regretted it, not because my dad got mad at me and my brother gave me a dirty look, even though they did, but because I realized how mean that little 3 word statement was. We had just gotten a new TV, which is rather large and probably rather expensive, and I was complaining about not having enough channels. How greedy is that, so now I feel really bad, but like the good people they are they forgave me. Of course. And I forgave myself which to me is important. So I realize now that what I have I really amazing. When I think about the starving kids in Africa who would give their left hand just to go to school i think about how good i have it. Which I really do, I went to the art museum with grace today (Just another thing that some kids will never get to do) and on the way I saw a lady with all of her stuff in a shopping cart sitting on a bench shivering and I though, she doesn't even have a house. I have my own room ans she can't afford he own room. I guess this is where I thank God for giving me a house, AMAZING friends, and a great family who are all healthy and well.
I feel like I have just been talking for hours (typing rather) and my post still doesn't seem that long, Sydney however could type for 20 minutes ans have a book written. I know that I just exaggerated there because she is writing a book and it has taken much longer then twenty minutes. Not that I mind because I know that I wouldn't be able to write a book in ten years.
I think that I have proven my point for the day and I want to get to bed a little bit earlier because tomorrow is a Monday and I want to be wide awake, not falling asleep.
DON'T FEED THE WILD ANIMALS!
