Have you even known someone that always complained about everything?

Nothing was ever right in their life.

They complained because they didn't have two cars.

If they had one car that run like a top.

Everything that came out of their mouth was negative.

I try to look for a blessing in the mist of a storm.

How many blessings can you count when you wake up in the morning?

I wake up and see the sun shinning in my window.

There are people that cannot see and they are in the dark all of the time.

I see the sun so bright at times I have to, squint my eyes.

I put my feet on the floor and walk down stairs.

There are a lot of people that can't walk.

They have to have someone help them out of bed to a wheel chair.

My knees may give me some pain but at least I don't need help to get up.

I go down stairs and fix a bowl of cereal for breakfast.

How man people in the world do not have anything to eat when they wake up?

Our house needs a lot of repairs but at lest we are dry when it rains.

There are thousands of people who are homeless and may live in a cardboard box and when the rain comes their home falls apart.

I have my husband and friends that are there for me when I need help.

Think about the people that live in a nursing home.

Not having anyone that cares enough to go visit them and let them know they are loved.

Listening to my favorite radio station.

Sounds like a small thing, right?

What about the guy down the street that can't hear anything?

Every breath I take is a blessing.

I had a friend that could not breathe without his oxygen tank.

Theses all seem like small things.

But to the people that can't do them they are huge blessings.

Then there are the huge blessings, the first one is salvation.

Jesus dies on the cross so we can have eternal life if you believe Jesus is God's son and we walk as Jesus did.

The Holy Spirit is a huge blessing.

He lives within us and shows us the way to live.

When we are in danger God will protect us.

When we are hurt of sick He will heal us.

I know God has saved my life t a least four times if not more.

I owe my life to Jesus.

I will serve Him all the days of my life.

There are many that don't know Jesus as their Lord and savior.

They don't know the blessings He has for us like joy, love, faith, peace, comfort, strength and wisdom.

I say to all Christians instead of complaining to your Heavenly Father.

Thank Him for all of your blessings.

Leave the pity parties for those who don't know the Lord.

All who might read this, here is something else to think about.

When my son got to complaining too much it really got on my nerves.

I can well imagine our Heavenly Father doesn't like it any more than I did.

Write down your blessings on paper.

When you feel like complaining, look at your list of blessings.

Praise the Lord for what you do have.

Thank Him always for His grace.

Always remember by grace are you saved through faith.

Praise God the Father, Jesus our savior, and the Holy Spirit that loves within us.
