As of this moment Thanksgiving is two days away. And I have had to repent and receive an attitude adjustment. With an abundance of blessings to focus on I allowed myself to get upset over something foolish. It wasn’t what you might expect. I didn’t get upset over long checkout lines, less than joyful shoppers, frazzled cashiers, and high prices. Truthfully everyone I encountered was quite pleasant. I am physically able to stand in line. I have the ability to use my facial muscles to form a smile. I can use the time in line to engage in conversation with those around me. I can speak kindly to those that have faced those long lines as they work their shift. I had the money to pay for my purchases. That being said….
My focus is now back on the wider scope of life. A heavenly FATHER that has blessed me so abundantly with the grace and resources to live life every moment of every day. HE has so faithfully brought me through so many serious situations, I should never allow myself to be sidelined even for a moment with something trivial. I have a loving FATHER that never slumbers nor sleeps. Thank YOU, FATHER
For those times I stumble and fall
YOUR grace is on standby awaiting my call
Small little tumbles along my way
YOU are always there to save the day
As I pick myself up dust my britches off
I hear my adversary laugh and scoff
Forget about him I hear YOU say
I AM the ONE in charge today
