I had a really bad headache all day yesterday, but I know their are some out there who hurt worse everyday. I do complain, don't get me wrong, I know I shouldn't, but I do. I do try to remember that my circumstances could be so much worse no matter what. It's all about perspective.
I was reading a blog yesterday that was talking about how frustrating it can get to always have a mess in the house with toys and shoes and such everywhere. She went on to say she was going to slow down and try to enjoy the mess, because one day those toys won't be all over the house, and one day the only shoes on the floor will be yours and your spouses. One day sooner rather than later. This encouraged me to take a deep breath and "try" to enjoy the mess, which can be hard, because the messes make me a little crazy. It's all about perspective.
It just so happens I have a great pastor/preacher/husband who really desires to walk closely with Jesus and he also desires that his family and the flock he shepherd's does as well. He has been preaching on gaining new, greater, positive, Godly perspective. His messages, led through by the Lord, have helped so much.
I of course don't always choose to have the right perspective, but boy do I want to grow in this area. It's all up to me, with the Lord's help, of course wouldn't even be possible without Him.
