The stock market fell 600+ more points today. Things don't look so great on the financial scene. Okay, Lord. I get it. We're supposed to depend on You for everything. Last week I wrote about having an attitude of gratitude. Well I don't feel very grateful today. Forgive me. So I guess I need to get started. Let me count the ways I'm blessed... (just like the old gospel hymn: "Count Your Blessings, one by one...")
1. I have a roof over my head.
2. I don't live in Somalia. (Lord, please help them!)3. I have more than enough good food and am not starving.
4. I have access to clean water.
5. I have a closet full of clothing and shoes.
6. I have several people I love and who love me. (There's at least 20 reasons to be praising God right there!)
7. My health is good. (Knock on wood! Better yet, thanks be to God!)
8. I can read!!!
9. The day began with rain.
10. I have a dog who thinks I'm great!
11. I'm mobile. (I can get around on my own two legs without help.)
There's more than ten things right there. I could go on and on...
Okay. I feel a little better. My life is good. Thank you Lord.
