Ever have a pot boil over? Man, it can really make a mess. There is little that compares to scorched milk boiling over onto the cook top. However, when a chocolate or caramel fountain "boils over", we find that to be very pleasing and appealing. I guess it's about how you look at things.
There are so many things I take for granted every day. I have mentioned before that the little things: walking, talking, seeing, hearing, thinking, comprehending, are all things that we do so effortlessly that we often forget how blessed we are to do them. On top of that, I have the best family, a great job that I really enjoy, pretty good health, and, when this life is over, I am going to Heaven!
Today's word is just a saying I came across that sums things up. It says, "The things you take for granted, someone else is praying for."
While scorched milk boiling over onto a cook top is an inconvenience, there are so many folks out there that are praying for their next meal to come along. Even when my family tests my patience, there are those who are lonely and are looking for someone, anyone that will spare a little time for them. I hear so many people complain about their jobs, and there are so many more just praying for a chance to work somewhere so that they can provide for their family.
I know that I am blessed beyond imagination. I know that I have so many things that I often take for granted. I have been given things that I fail to appreciate as much as I should. I have come to realize that the little things that I so often take for granted, someone else is praying for. LORD, thank You for Your many blessings!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
