Sometimes I just get in a funk...know what I mean? I have found myself in a funk for a few days. Why? Oh, I don't know...I guess I get tired sometimes. The mundane, the routine, trying to keep a house clean, laundry, therapy for Zach, just the stuff of life!!!
So, I decided I needed a perspective check. I have a lot to be thankful for and I sometimes just need to slow down long enough to be reminded of all that God has given me.
I read one of my favorite verses this morning- "From the fullness of his grace, we have all received one blessing after another." (John 1:16) I have received one blessing after another...my family is healthy and I have been given a gift to have each one of them in my life. I have a wonderful husband. I have a great church and have been given lots of opportunities to serve. My husband has a good job. I have great friends. And on a more superficial note- Birkdale is already decorated for Christmas which excites me and Starbucks has it's Christmas cups out (-:!!!
So, it really is all about perspective, isn't it? I have so MUCH to be thankful for!!
Hi Cammie,
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind in reading my favorite blogs and I realized I had missed this post... Another great word!! Having just returned from an eye-opening trip to Africa, God has been teaching me so much about perspective, I am finding myself so thankful for the 'small' things that I have taken so much for granted.
