Whining...

is a little like vomiting in that you get the gross out but the after taste...blech!


So how about a little "wow" by way of God's thoughtfulness instead:


1.  He made apples.  And they are delicious.  He could have made one variety with just one color but instead he made: Golden Delicious and Fuji, Red Delicious and Jona-gold.  How about Honeycrisp and Macintosh,  Braeburn, Granny Smith and even Gravenstein?!?  Those are all great, but to kick it up a notch he made APPLE CIDER DONUTS!! That was really nice of him.  


2.  Today I was able to purchase Emily's first homecoming dress for the outstanding price of...FREE!  Yes, free.  She found a PERFECT dress on clearance (she could have picked the $60 one) and a matching bracelet-also on clearance-AND I had a store credit! After the purchase I still have $8! Very generous of God to orchestrate that one. 


3. Did you know that he created us to have cells in our bodies that already recognize an intruder before its actually been exposed to it? A cellular army at the ready to protect our bodies as soon as a "bad bug" finds its way in.  And the best part is, once its in and our cells recognize it, they MEMORIZE it and the next time it tries to attack, our cellular army annihilates it---before we even feel sick!  Incredible. 


4. He gave us laughter.  Last night I laughed so hard I woke up hoarse.  I love when that happens.  Its good to be joyful.  


So now that I have listed just a couple of the things that have blessed my life today I feel a little less stressed and my bronchioles can chill from all the hyperventilating.   Look it up.  :)



Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.  
James 1:17

Oh how thankful I am for that.  He just never changes, no matter how much I do.

Gotta run.  I have an exam Monday...to the study cave Batman!
