Instead Of

-Instead of thanking Jesus for two strong legs and a body that’s capable of running and jumping lots of people complain about their weight and appearance.

-Instead of appreciating that they live in a country that protects their basic human rights and civil liberties, lots of people complain about laws, taxes and politicians.

-Instead of being grateful for the roof they have over their heads, lots of people wish they had a larger house and a fancier car.

-Instead of thanking God for great friends, lots of people grumble about what motives others have in being close to them.

-Instead of glorifying God for His blessings, lots of people ignore giving Him praise for taking care of them.

Don’t be one of these people.  You may not have it all, but you have a lot.

To witness miracles in your daily life, count your blessings and be thankful for what you do have.  There are others who aren’t so fortunate.

"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." James 4:14
