When Erma Bombeck was facing her own battle with cancer, she met a little girl named Christina, who had cancer of the nervous system.
When Christina was asked what she wanted for her birthday, she thought for a while and then shrugged, “I don’t know. I already have two sticker books and a Cabbage Patch doll. I already have everything!”
Erma said, “When I forget to feel grateful, I hear Christina saying, ‘I already have everything!'”

Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for
everything you need, always giving thanks.
