Wednesday

I thought yesterday was hectic but it was a breeze compared to today. Long day, frustrating day but God is good. I am so blessed and have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful that I have family that cares about me and for me. I am thankful that I can go to a doctor whenever I want and have all the medicines that I need. I am thankful that I have food and a comfortable home to rest. I am thankful that I have shoes that fit and am clean. I am thankful that those around me lift me up instead of putting me down. I am thankful that I do not have to beg to have family take me in. I am so blessed and I do not deserve one of the items above that I have. I take so much for granted and tonight I am truly stopping to name my blessings. I worry about having too much to do when those around me are trying to get a wheelchair with foot rests so their bare feet don't drag. I complain at the cost of gasoline when others have no vehicles. I complain about having to rush lunch to go to an emergency call when those I am checking on haven't ate since supper the night before. I have no clue why God has seen fit to bless me but He sure has. His love for me is too immense for me to even comprehend. Why would anyone give up everything for me? I hope that I can in a small small way show love to those that I minister too. I hope that at the end of the day, I have shown more love than judgment; more acceptance than frustration; I hope that I grow in love daily and love others as they are. 40 days of community will hopefully bring me to learn a deeper love and display to all those I come in contact to. I pray that I will be saturated with His love.
