Sometimes we allow ourselves to become so consumed with our needs and our wants and we don’t take time to thank the Lord for what we have.  I am guilty of this, especially lately. 

 
Thank you Lord for providing me with a temporary job! 
Thank you Lord for healing my Mamma and for the wonderful news that we got today.  She had a spot cut off her hip yesterday that looked like it may be melanoma and we found out it is cancer free!
Thank you for providing me with food and water and hot water and bubble baths!
Thank you Lord for loving me so well and for always treasuring me.  Goodness, His love for us is like a wild rushing wave; crashing down on us and completely saturating us. 
 
I choose to live a life of praise instead of a life of complaining.  How can you not praise the Lord when there is so much goodness all around us?
