WOWEEEE It has been FAR too long since I've posted last!
Lemme tell ya those freaking midterms are a killer!
I have been soo busy the last couple weeks I've barely had any time to sit and think about anything other than Management Accounting and Canadian Income Tax (blech!) for the last 2 weeks.
And even now, I feel like I have so much on my mind right now to tell you guys about, that I can't even figure out how to put it all down...there's spiritual stuff I'm trying to figure out....
relational stuff....
and just generally life stuff!
And you know, Thanksgiving weekend really got me thinking, how much are we actually grateful for? Do we really understand how much we have? It boggles my mind every day.
Take a look around you. You're probably inside somewhere, so there are walls around you, a roof over your head, it's probably warm. If not, you most likely have a sweater, socks, or a blanket within reach. How ridiculous is that? And it seems so silly to be thankful for that kind of stuff, because everyone around us has those kinds of things. But think about it. There are people in the city you live in who have to sleep outside because for whatever reason, they are without a home.
We should really be thankful that we wake up in the morning never mind the fact that we have so much STUFF.
I'm not going on and on about this to make you all feel guilty, but it's something to think about.
Every day, we should wake up and be thankful we can open our eyes and walk around. We should be thankful that we can get into our car and drive every morning never mind how cold the car is.
Every time you complain about something, think about something related to the complaint that you can be thankful for. It's something I'm striving for, and I think we can all live a happier life because of it.
And take it one step further. Tell God how thankful you are for that specific thing, and pray that He'll help you understand how much He's given you.
Have an awesome day!
