It is so easy to feel sorry for yourself. I think it is in our human nature to only see ourselves or at least 95% as the one with the short end of the stick. I am counting all the things I am thankful for, it is just so easy to fall into the trap of playing victim. Today I am grateful all the little ones in my house, they make me laugh and remind me to be playful and not so serious. Two I am grateful for my sweet husband who is passionate and full of conviction. Three I am proud of my husband for stepping into each day couragiously and faithfully into ministry. Not to mention our amazing family and friends who encourage us each day. Their faithfulness is an amazing encourgement. See there you have it, I have more then anyone could ever ask for. The blues have slipped away, while at least for the next half hour.
