Do you ever have one of those?
A day where everything seems to be just stupid. And things annoy you and hurt your feelings and you get irritated and and and ...
Stop.
I realize I'm not in the hospital. Not in jail. Not in a poverty stricken place. Not fearing for my life.
I'm soooo blessed.
In fact, probably too much! I'm afraid I'm spoiled.
God forgive me for taking things for granted. For being overly sensitive. For wanting my way. All.the.time.
I need to be more like Paul in Philippians...
I need to learn to be content!
Philippians 4:11-13New International Version (NIV)
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Next time you feel blah just say NAH, I'm gonna be content. I'm gonna choose to be positive about where I'm at right now. Yes sirree..... I have a lot to be thankful for!
Don't you?!
