I went to bed last night, and woke up this morning, in a bad mood. The reason I was in a bad mood was because I had started thinking about all of the things that I wish our new house had – more land, not so close to 485, room for cows, etc. (Yes, I want to have cows.) I love the inside of our house, but deep down want a house out in the country – far away from neighbors and the city life. Now don’t get me wrong, I really do love our new house. The inside of it is perfect, and for where we are in life right now, it is what we need and can afford. I don’t know why, but no matter how great life is, I think that we humans always want more….at least I do.
I was set straight this morning while at bible study. After our lesson was over, our group leader asked a few women how things were going for them. I was humbled to know that one woman has a grandchild with a hole in her heart and will be operated on in December. Another woman has a daughter with a disease that keeps her from interacting with her peers. Both women were in tears over these terrible situations that are going on in their lives. I sat there listening to their stories feeling ashamed that I was complaining about something so trivial as a large yard and noise. I have problems of privilege. I immediately began to count my blessings: I have healthy children, a beautiful house, a great school for my kids, a loving family, food on the table, more clothes than we need, and again, healthy children. I couldn’t want more in my life. The fact that my family is healthy and alive is really all that I need or want. I am blessed beyond measure.
I came home this afternoon with a brighter outlook and more joy in my heart. Greed, jealousy and discontentment were stealing my joy, but thankfulness and gratitude for what the Lord has given me increased it ten fold. The Lord has given me so many wonderful gifts and I need to thank Him daily for them. I am going to choose to have a content heart, and to be thankful and grateful for everything that I have because I am truly blessed.
