Bad Day?

Do you ever have bad days? Ever feel like they're all starting to run together into a bad week? Bad month, year, life? I do. Sometimes I get so tired of hearing myself whine. "Not only did this go wrong, but this, this, and this." Like, let's see who can have the worst day....

Did you ever stop to think.. Maybe if everything's going bad I'm just looking at the wrong side of it. Maybe it's just attitude.

Do you think people who enjoy life have no problems? Is there really anyone who has the perfect life? Doesn't everyone feel lonely?

Instead of adding up all the bad things to see just how bad your day is, why not add the good things and thank God for his blessings? Then maybe you'd have a good day, week, month, life.... :)

This blog is more for me than anyone. I need a constant reminder that life is but a vapor and if you don't start enjoying it now you're gonna miss it.

Bubbles...

I was playing with Elijah the other day. I had bought all the kids bubble wands for memorial day weekend and we were playing with his. I would wave the wand and all kinds of bubbles would come floating out. Elijah would get focused on one bubble and chase after it until it popped. Even when I would call to him, trying to get him to see all the bubbles behind him, he would keep chasing that one bubble.

I think we all do that sometimes. We get so focused on that one "bubble" that we really want to catch and we miss all the other bubbles. Even when God calls to us, "look at all the other bubbles I'm sending your way", we're too focused on the bubble we want. Sometimes it's a really big bubble but sometimes it's the smallest bubble of all. But we can't see the bigger bubbles for the one we're chasing after.

I want to see all the bubbles. How 'bout you?
