I could write about my recent frustrations. Or about several "roadblocks" that I feel we've run into lately. But I'll just share with you all what was in our Lifeline (Bulletin) at church today. It's a great way to start a new week.
I Am Thankful
... for the wife who says its hot dogs tonight, because it means she is home with me.
... for the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because it means he is home with me.
... for the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes, because it means he or she is safe at home.
... for the taxes that I pay, because it means I am employed.
... for the mess to clean up after a party, because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
... for the clothes that fit a little snug, because it means I have enough to eat.
... for my shadow that watches me work, because it means I am in the sunshine.
... for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing, because it means I have a home.
... for all the complaining I hear about the government, because it means we have freedom of speech.
... for the parking spot that I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I am able to walk and that I have been blessed with transportation.
... for my huge heating bill, because it means I am warm.
... for the lady in church behind me that sings off key, because it means I can hear.
... for the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means I have clothes to wear.
... for the weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means I have been capable of working hard.
... for the alarm that goes off at dawn, because it means I am alive and able to get up each morning.
... for my Father in Heaven, because He provides all that I need!
"And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus." ~Philippians 4:19
Have a wonderful week!
