Thank You God!

I've been going through alot of changes in the past year....new job, new house, new child, my oldest daughter graduating. Along with all these wonderful things have been TONS of stress! I'm like most people where I find it so easy to sit down and have a huge pity party on how things aren't exactly as I wanted them to be. The house payment is huge, the kids don't keep their rooms clean, my husband is busy and sometimes seems like he's from an entire different planet, I am underpaid at work...and on and on!!! I walked into church on Sunday.. which is my favorite place on this earth.. and it hit me!!!! How would I feel if my children didn't appreciate anything I provided for them? What if the gifts I gave them they complained about and wanted to exchange them for something better. I realized this is how God must feel after blessing me with so many gifts and I find a way to turn His blessings into stress! I should be thankful that I have a beautiful home to live in and that I'm healthy enough to work. I should always be appreciative of how well-behaved and loving my children are and that my husband has always been the most supportive amazing man during the highs and lows of our marriage. I want to give God the glory for all of His abundant grace and love!!! I will keep praying for God to continue to bless my life with new and amazing adventures!!!!
