Just be Thankful

I am a little amazed at the grumblings of people. Why is it sometimes we forget to look at the "big picture"?
What if you lost your job, then after months of searching, hoping, praying and asking others to help in the search and prayer, you are blessed with a wonderful new beginning and the search is over! And then, after you have begun your new career, you find it less appealing than you had hoped, maybe even a bit afraid of this new world you've embarked upon.
Why not step back, take a look at what you have accomplished. Remind yourself, this is what you prayed for, this is what you worked for...this is what you chose. This has been layed in your path for a reason.
Remember that old addage, there's always someone worse off than you..it's true!
So today I pray for those who are so blessed and refuse to see the blessings because they are too busy grumbling. Today, I say to those....just be thankful to Our Lord above...He placed you where you are for a reason!
Whatever you do today, may it be gracious and acceptable in His eyes

  1. Now that is a deep post! And you are right, we forget quickly what it was like to be without. Sometimes, though, a change in direction is not as easy as we thought it would be. Just have to be positive and keep moving forward.
