Some years ago a lady at my church gave this to me at Thanksgiving time, she thought it might come in handy in some presentations...It came (I think from Richmond paper) and was written by Ken Metz....anyway I thought with all the negative junk going around that maybe this could just maybe make us think a little------"Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays are a time of thanks indeed. But sometimes we complain despite all the blessings that are laid before us. Here is a little tidbit the exemplifies what our daily complaints really mean to us:
I am thankful for the mess to clean up after a party----it means I have been surrounded by family and friends.
The taxes I pay---it means I am employed.
The cloths that fit a little to tight--- it means I have enough to eat.
My shadow who watches me work---it means I am out in the sunshine
The spot I find at the far end of the parking lot---it means I am capable of walking
All the complaining I hear about our government---it means we have freedom of speech
The lady behind me in church that sings off key---it means I can hear
The piles of dirty laundry and ironing---it means my loved ones are nearby
Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day---it means I have been productive
A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutter that need fixing---it means I have a home
My huge heating bill---it means I am warm
The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours---it means I am alive"

I sort of think he nailed it down pretty good, to me it is all in the attitude---how we choose to look at things-----now I will go practice on these some---God Bless
