A friendly reminder

December 5, 2008 in Prayer/Faith with 4 Comments

I just wanted to remind everyone today to look really close, and evaluate the blessings you’ve received.

It’s very easy for me to complain and gripe about life, and the ‘unfairnesses’ of it.  But It’s very very difficult for me to open my eyes and realize the small things that have been poured upon me. For instance, I woke up this morning!  Amen and Amen!

I think sometimes we pray for miracles, and when they don’t turn out like we prayed, we don’t think a miracle has happened.  Miracles happen every day.  Sometimes I might write a miracle off as a curse.

I write this because too often I complain about stuff.  My job, my allergies, my stresses.  All of those things are easy to complain about, but in reality it means, I have a job to complain about: Amen!  I have a body that is fighting off things it thinks are bad for me: Amen!  I have so much going on in my life that I get stressed: Amen!

Sometimes are gripes are blessings.  Look close.  What are you griping about today?  Would a child in Haiti gripe about it?  Let’s give praise when praise is due!

Praise God!

    I actually spent a very long thanking God last night for all that he has given me. My supportive family, my understanding friends, my handsome son, my loyal dog, my talents, my achievements, my home, my education, everything! Even though things have definitely been rough this year, it is all for what God has planned for me and I accept that and I thank Him. :)
