With Thanksgiving only a couple days away, I find myself thinking of all the wonderful things that I have to be thankful for. The sad thing is, is that I complain about those same things on almost a daily basis. I am so thankful for a beautiful home that keeps us warm in the winter and cool in the summer, but I complain about all the chores that come along with it. I am so thankful for a vehicle that fits us all(for now at least..lol) and is completely paid off, but I complain about how the door gets stuck, and how many miles are on it, and so on. I am thankful that my husband works so hard so that we can have all the things we have and yet I complain when he has to work late. I am soooo thankful for my 4 beautiful boys, but I complain when they act like boys. lol. I am thankful for the ministry opportunities God has given me, but I complain about the time and energy that is required. My list could go on and on. For me, this Thanksgiving is not going to be just a day to be thankful, but a day to repent for my selfishness and my unthankfulness. It will be a day that I will ask God to help me reevaluate the blessings in my life.
