I started grumbling today. Just tired and needed some encouragement. I asked for it from my Facebook buds, received the gifts, and then felt better in a record amount of time.
Things do not stay the same. They are constantly changing. So my motto is, "It isn't always gonna be like this." I can say that, but some things haven't changed in 15 years. I realized today that I'm still not totally content with this "sameness" - for lack of a better word. I tell myself I am for a while, then a night like this comes in and tries to steal my joy. I really believe God isn't going to move certain things until I get content with where I am. To wear it and appreciate it like an old worn sweatshirt. God wants my undivided attention. I'm His baby girl, and I need to be content with that, and that alone. He sees me, hears me, and knows my heart better than any human. That's a gift. To be His.
So, here are some gifts that I was thinking about the past few days....
22) The gift of being a God's kid.
23) Hot shower on a bone-cold day.
24) Blankets (lots of them!)
25) The hairdryer that blows hot air (can you tell I was cold that day?)
26) My Facebook friends that I don't get to see too much in person.
27) The smell of the fireplace smoke in the mornings coming from my neighbor's house.
28) Precious neighbors that look out for me.
