Sometimes I complain. If not aloud, I sure do in my heart. I tend to have an idea that what I'm experiencing is it...the most awful thing. I wouldn't say that aloud because I know it's not true or nice for that matter, but I still feel it. Clearly a whiny child or no money in the budget is NOT the end of the world. They are simple problems that everyone faces and seem to get through in one piece.
This post is to state that I'm thankful. I'm thankful for my loving family that is healthy. I'm thankful that I have a warm and nice house to live in. I'm thankful that my husband loves me and takes care of me...and that his job is providing. I'm most thankful that Jesus died on the cross and saved my soul from eternal damnation.
We have been informed of countless hurts and health issues. These are consequences of living in a fallen world and serving in a church with a large elderly attendance. These situations cause me to pray and be thankful...God reminding me that I have it really good and I have no reason to complain.
I stumbled on this link, through a friend...it's about a mom who is dying. It breaks my heart as I look at my children and think about having to leave them. The site is www.deathisnotdying.com, and it's a good reminder to pray and be thankful for what we have.
