After not being in the mood to do this, or do that, or do the other thing; my husband said, "let's go on a walk." I reluctantly and somewhat sarcastically said, " OK."
On the walk I was disgruntled; our lawn was sadly and embarrassingly overgrown, the car that just passed us almost ran us over, how come that house near us has been for sale for so long! Uggghh!
My loving husband turned to me and said, "You need a different mindset, you need to be thankful for all the good things." Dang-it if he doesn't (almost) always have a mind numbingly intense thought-provoking thing to point out to me.
Well, after being angry at HIM for being so RIGHT, I changed my attitude.
I decided to go on the long walk, not cut it short, after all, I did have working legs.
We arrived home to 3 bedrooms and an attic space that was in super great need of being de-junked as soon as humanly possible.
Thank goodness we could donate so much stuff to others who might need it, or who could just use it.
Our daughter dyed her hair half blue today. Thank God we have a daughter who has enough confidence and good self-esteem, in this somewhat cruel world, to be able to express herself without worries of judgement - that is most sure to come.
I continued to count my blessings today, and oh there were so very many.
All to the glory of God.
Dedicated to my husband who loves me. (Another abundant blessing).
