Today’s
Scripture: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalms
118:1 (NIV)
A friend of mine was sharing with me recently how upset she was
about her drain at home because it was clogged. This was inconvenient because she
was unable to cook or have a shower. She complained bitterly about her inconvenience
because it messed up her plans for the Christmas holidays. The first morning back
to work, she was still complaining because she was not able to have her usually
nice shower.
While on the bus she met a young man who was mentally disabled;
he was unable to speak properly. Despite his disabilities however, he walked up
to her and exclaimed brightly, as best as he could;
“Good morning mam and how are you?”
“Good morning, she answered, I am ok and how are you?”
“He answered brightly; I am blessed and highly favoured because I
have life.”
The young man went on to have a very positive conversation with
her for the rest of the journey.
My friend told me that she felt very bad because here she was being
so upset because of a minor inconvenience however, here was this young man who
was hardly able to speak and did not even have a job yet he was able to
appreciate life for what it is.
The moral of this story is that we should remain positive and
grateful in spite of what we are going through. My friend went further to tell
that because her drain was clogged her daughter invited her for breakfast
Christmas morning and she had dinner with close friends and family. She even had
dinner to serve her for several days and best of all she was not as tired since
this year she did no work at all. My friend wasn’t able to reflect on all these
good things until she met this young man.
How often do we allow the little problems in our lives to
prevent us from seeing the many blessings that God has given to us? This
morning ladies focus on your blessings instead of magnifying your problems. Focusing on your problems will cause you to
worry and become unhappy. Instead of complaining let God know how grateful you
are for all the things that he has done. Let the issues that flow from your
heart today be gratefulness.
Have A God Filled Day Ladies
Let’s Pray
Mighty God, please forgive for the many times that we have
complained or have been ungrateful. We just want to take time out this morning
to thank you for all we have.
In Jesus Name
Amen
