When I look at our family and the issues and concerns we face on a daily basis. Sometimes it is easy to slip into the "life is hard" mantra.
Then God shows me (only He knows when I am ready to see)the issues and concerns other people have which in comparison make our diffuclties seem trivial.
We are so blessed.
God is good.
Even when all 4 kids have been sick within 1 week.
Even when there is uncertainty in the economy.
Even when there is disappointment.
Even when there is failure to meet expectations.
Even when the downstairs toilet breaks, I fix it, and it breaks again.
Even when we NEED new gutters, roof and furnace.
Even when we switch over to digital tv and our reception gets worse.
Even when Kelsey (our choc. lab) eats anything and everything left on the counter.
Even when a 30 year old tree falls.
Even when, due to 4 kids, it is hard to get a hot shower.
Even when I have chosen to put my golf clubs in the attic. (Although I will probably still play 2 or 3 times this year.)
Even when my 11 year old honda civic tries not to start on cold mornings.
Even when my company changes how they pay me and shockingly it turns out to be less.(sarcasm)
Even when....
well, for me.... God knows when I am ready to see how blessed I am.
"Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered." Psalm 32:1
