Today I have a headache, so my brain is having a little bit of trouble putting sentences together. So, I am apologizing in advance for anything that does not make sense. This will be another short week at work, short weeks are awesome for the mere fact that, well, it’s SHORT. But they are not so awesome in that the work some how doubles. Patients are in a rush to be seen before the office is closed for the holidays. Thus my headache. At one point in the day I was so over it, and I mean OVER IT, I couldn’t even stand myself. I was about to complain, (like the whiner I am). When God reminded me of this. I am blessed. I am blessed to work where I work, and do what I do. Many people would love to be in my shoes, yet I am whining because the day is a little busy. That point was made more real when I sat in on a peer interview, with a gentleman who has been unemployed due to lay offs and cut backs. I was reminded that life is hard, but God has been good. I can’t take His goodness or grace toward me for granted. This year is coming to an end in less than 48 hours, take stock of the past year be reminded of all the blessings you have been gifted this year, and take the time to thank the One who blessed you. Before you start to whine about your circumstances and situation, remember that no matter what your condition there is always at least one thing to be thankful for, focus on that. A wonderful thing happens when you do, you start to find other things to be thankful for.

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

So what am I thankful for today? God’s unending blessings.
