I was talking to a friend last night and asked her if she had to work tomorrow and she smiled and enthusiastically said “yes”. Unfortunately, out of my lips came my already-formed comment and I said, “Ughhh”.
And man, was I convicted today!!
I was only thinking about the drive she had and the fact that I was actually off work that particular day. And then today, I realized I do have a bad attitude about jobs. And that is so so so so wrong! I love my days off and my weekends but the Lord has blessed me with this amazing job that has great benefits and salary. Why am I so ungrateful!
So I apologized to my friend, and God, and set out on a new adventure of being more grateful for my job. In reality, I love my job. I have the best boss. I get to work from home and off on Fridays. What in the world, Deanna?!! Be grateful!
I just felt I needed to share this today in case someone is struggling with the same attitude of not being grateful for what we have. Whether it’s a job, a bigger home, a nicer car or a skinnier body, we need to learn to thank God for the blessings He has given us and enjoy the benefits of those blessings.
New day.
New blessings.
New attitude.
Who’s with me?
