We've been getting crazy amounts of snow lately, and frankly I'm over it. I want it to be spring so bad my soul aches. I want to get outside and feel the heat of the sun. No coats necessary! I also had an exam today that I as hoping would be canceled because of the snow. But alas, I still had my exam. To my surprise is went really well which was much to my relief.
It was hard to be grateful and joyous today for some reason. The snow made things a bit difficult today which made my a bit grumpy. When I got my Weekly Wisdom it brought me back down to reality and made me realize I was not having a grateful heart. The Bible talks about being grateful all over the place. God loves a grateful and thankful heart and life.
Ephesians 5:20 says, "always giving thanks to God the Father for everything...". I was not doing that today. Even in the midst of bad days, doing things I don't like, or things I am uncomfortable with, I still need to give thanks to God for everything. That's a humbling truth. Even in the midst of bad things, hard things, and things I don't like, I need to thank God for that. How crazy is that?
With all this said, I thank God for the crazy amounts of snow, my exam, and my grumpy heart. I thank God that he has the power to change my attitude like he did today. God is so good and I hope you experience that in your life too.
"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe" Hebrews 12:28
