The life and trials of a growing Christian-Day six

When I came home from work today I had to hurry up and take my wife to work so I could have the van to go to church tonight. When I got her there she said "I'm so tired of coming here and doing the same thing every day." As I drove off, I started thinking about writing tonight, but I couldn't get her words out of my mind. I too, do the same thing... Day after day, as do most people. As I thought about it, I kinda felt a little down, but only for a few seconds. You see, there are people that don't know where they are going to go, they just spend the day milling around, aimlessly living out every hour doing nothing. I, on the other hand, have been given the privilege of going to work for forty hours a week. There are people that don't know what or if they are going to eat. I get to eat every day (sometimes too much, hence my great circular physique). There are people sleeping under bridges, in laundry mats, and on park benches while I get to sleep in a nice warm bed in a nice warm house. God has blessed us so much and so many times we just take it for granted. We aren't rich (not by American standards) in fact, we are just scraping by. There is no money in the bank but our bills and mortgage get paid every month, and there is always enough food. We are truly blessed! The next time you get down and tired of the mundane daily grind take a few minutes to think about what you have been blessed with. Remember that if it weren't for that job that gets repetitive and boring that you could be sleeping in a stairwell somewhere, praying and hoping that you could get a job just like the one you're complaining about.
