It’s a tough question….
What am I taking for granted?
It’s not hard to quickly figure out the beginning of a long list:
-
a husband and a good marriage
-
children
-
extended family nearby
-
clean water
-
plentiful food
-
a home
-
sleep
-
health
-
a job I love
-
dear friends who encourage me constantly
-
even this blog…
But it IS tough to think about just how many blessings I do have and I absolutely take for granted.
Ouch.
So what is YOUR answer?
What are YOU taking for granted that someone else is praying for?
It seems like there is an epidemic of stress going around.
Too many of my friends and family are hurting right now, all in different ways, but the common denominator seems to always be stress.
I’m guilty of it myself. Letting too many things pile up on my plate until I lose the joy in simple everyday pleasures.
What ONE THING could you take off your plate today that would leave you feeling less stressed tomorrow?
Finish those piles of laundry?
Clear out those dishes piled in the sink?
Tackle that paperwork/project you’ve been putting off?
Fill out your calendar with ALL your upcoming events and to-dos so things don’t sneak up on you?
Take a time out to breathe and focus on something that brings you joy instead of stress?
What is your ONE THING today?
