In our sermon teaching by Kyle this past Sunday, he said, "Be intentional to be thankful in all circumstances." I seem to find that hard at times these days. I find myself complaining a lot about things that I shouldn't even let bother me!! You know, don't sweat the small stuff. Well, I seem to be doing just that. Funny, but when I had cancer and I was going through all that treatment last year, I don't remember complaining about any of it. And I think I had a perfect right to complain. I just didn't have anything in my mind to complain about, I guess I was feeling to bad to complain!
So now that I have my life back, I have taken it with full force. I don't want to miss out on anything. I guess having a scare like I did last year puts it all in perspective. Live like it is your last.
I am volunteering more with my girl scouts, doing more community service to those in need, taking an interest in my professional life and have returned to college (not fun!), and enjoying my family so much more. Everything around me, I see with new eyes. God has given me this new vision to see how he sees.
But I find myself complaining at times about how busy I am and I did this!!
So I will continue to remember what is said in the good book:
"Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world" Philippians 2:14-15.
Love to all,
