Blessings

Today, I am counting my blessings. 

I woke up this morning and as I was starting my car, I found myself grumbling about the cold.  I was even talking out loud (As I often do) and telling God that I couldn’t wait until summer, and it was so cold outside, and I was tired of the cold,  blah blah blah.  God wonderfully reminded me that instead of grumbling about the cold, I should be thanking him for another day.  So as I was walking back up the deck, (still talking outloud), I was very thankful for the day and that I was able to walk to my car to go to work and that my family was inside, healthy and happy, so I really didn’t have too much to complain about.  Sometimes God has to remind us of all of our blessings so that we don’t grumble about the little things that really don’t matter.  So today, I am going to try all day not to gripe but to be thankful for all of my blessings (and they are numerous).
