blessed

It's hard to be thankful for things when you're in the spiritual desert. There are just times where it feels like there is nothing to be thankful of. Sometimes we are so into our little problems we tend to forget the little beauties around us. It's hard, to be thankful all the time, but that's what i gotta learn to do more of. Lately, I've been complaining a lot...mainly on school..and well...for Bible study on friday, Jess gave us all a challenge....try not to complain about your homework...i was like..aww man..that's hard...so let's see...i didn't complain on saturday..and i felt better...really complaining blinds you...from seeing the thinks you should be grateful for, things you may often take for granted. And well i took a lot of things for grated this past week...my friends, my family, and even God. I take for granted the fact that He blessed me with so much. I take for granted His everlasting love and mercy...but..u know what...this weekend..my friend was able to help me see...see those beauties in life...those little things that matter the most....those things...that we see everyday as normal, yet 3/4 of the people in the world don't have. The roof on your head, the food placed on your table, the clothes on your back, everything comes from God. And you know what? as many times as you have heard this..i think we all need a reminder once in a while...to see how beautiful life really is. I mean..we are truly blessed people...so yes =) i think this week is going to be better....i know i have a lot of work..but still...i mean..there are kids out there...in Ethopia and other 3rd world countries..who would love to be you, who would love to go to school..you & i are given the opportunity..and yes...homework may be a waste of time..but sooner or later.you gotta do it..so why not do it with a thankful heart?
