Isn’t it amazing how difficult life can be some days? I was thinking about this thought after coming out of my counselor’s office this afternoon but there was one thought that I couldn’t get off my mind. It’s so easy to look at my life, and at times feel sorry for myself because of the way things are going, or are not going as I would like them to do. I can end up feeling very depressed with no energy to even focus on getting myself better. But one thing that the Lord showed me today was that even though life does throw us curve balls every now and then, there’s always someone else who is suffering so much more then I am. When was the last time I thanked the Lord for what’s He’s done in my life, or the incredible wife he has blessed me with, or the two amazing kids we have? It seems to me that I spend more time complaining about my life then being thankful for all the many blessings that I have! We are selfish by nature but life doesn’t have to be this way. I have decided that the only way I will recognize true success in my life is to thank the Lord continually for His blessings even when life does throw me a curve ball and to know that I have a choice as to what kind of attitude I will have. The theme of this blog is Living Well Today and it all starts with an attitude of gratitude! I am determined to change my attitude because I have so much to be thankful for.
Have a blessed day and remember to Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS!
