Sometime I seem to get so overwhelmed with what is going on in the world that I forget to really appreciate the good things in my life. My family is wonderful, I have good friends, a paid-for home, good health for the most part and able to handle what isn't great. A couple of friends and I have what could almost be considered a ministry, taking tea parties to elderly or depressed people, or just those who can't get out and about. Also the people I exercise with daily seem to really care about me and I do them and above all this to know God truly cares about our every day life. I have a bumper sticker-like poster that I need to keep where I can see it often. It says "If God can handle eternity, I can surely handle today". I know we don't all have the same blessings, but we can all find good things in our lives that should take precedence over whatever isn't so good. Thanks for reminding me.
