I've been so depressing here lately in my posts, I wanted to lighten up a little and wish everyone a beautiful Christmas.
I've been looking at all my problems instead of my problems & I need to stop that.
So... I'm hoping that if any of you are dealing with some heartache or other unhappy thing in your life, that you will take a moment tonight to just thank God for the blessings - no matter how small they are. Your SMALL blessings are ones that others wish for:
If you have a mate that you love and can depend on (no matter what other problems there are) - be thankful
If you have your health - so many people don't. My sister lost both her legs; a friend of the family just lost a battle with kidney failure, and I read in the paper where a 19-year old girl was killed in a car wreck last night.
If you have a roof over your head - no matter how raggedy or run-down - it's there.
If you ate anything at all today.
if you have a television to watch, a radio to listen to, a computer to spend time on, or books to read - be thankful.
If you are doing your worrying as you drive back and forth on errands - you have a car.
If you had cried yourself to sleep in your bed at night - you have a bed.
If you have grumbled over having to cook when you are tired - you have appliances and food.
There are just so many blessings & sometimes they just happen to be wrapped up inside our problems and worries. Lord knows I've had SO many tears and disappointments lately - but I am still so very blessed.
Have a thankful Christmas. Have a smile. Have a moment of prayer. Have a heart for someone else who may be hurting.
Peace
