<\/p>\nOften we are thankful for things that do happen–and complain over things that don’t. I know I do.<\/p>\n

…that when my eyes suddenly itched and filled with tears and I could no longer see, I did not<\/b> wreck my car. (I was able to turn to a side street where I parked for five minutes until I could see again to return home.)<\/p>\n

…that I did not<\/b> have a resident inexplicably lose 35 lbs in 6 weeks.<\/p>\n
…that I did not<\/b> slip on the ice on my way into work<\/p>\n
…that I have not<\/b> received the wrath I was due.<\/p>\n
I’m also thankful for some things that DID\/WILL happen…<\/b><\/p>\n …that I had a song of worship in my heart as I started work<\/p>\n …that I somehow had a restful day of labor<\/p>\n …that I received a letter from my brother in the mailbox<\/p>\n …that I have a concert to look forward to this evening<\/p>\n …that I have obtained an inheritance in Christ Jesus (Eph 1:11)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Often we are thankful for things that do happen–and complain over things that don’t.
