Grateful

I woke up this morning with an attitude of just being grateful.  Yes I woke up with a headache and a runny nose, But thank God I am alive.  Many times I forget to be grateful for all the blessings in my life.  And then you wake up feeling miserable and that’s when you sit down, get quiet and reflect on the more important things in life.  If I had woke up feeling fine this morning I would have just went about my normal morning routines and not given another thought about being grateful.  So I’m thankful this morning that I woke up feeling yucky.  I probably am the last person you would expect to be thankful to be feeling miserable. But I know that God sometimes has to hit me on the back of the head and say SIT DOWN, BE STILL and let me take the wheel.   See we all know that we have to have God in our life and we know that we can’t do anything without him.  But sometimes we get to comfortable and set in our ways that we slowly start doing it on our own and before you know it we are in over our head.  But the good news is that when we get in to deep and we know we can’t dig our way out.  God is standing on the side line with his arm stretched out towards us.  And he does not scold us for messing up.  He just wraps us in his arms and smothers us with his love.  So lord, I thank you this morning for my headache and stuffy nose.  We had a good morning.

 

Blessings till I post again.
