I don't think I complain a lot but sometimes I realize when I do complain it really isn't that important. This has been made very apparent to me with all the disasters around the world lately!
When I go to bed at night I always thank the Lord for a comfortable place to "belong" and to rest with all my "things" around me and I mention a prayer for those who have lost that in the recent tornado outbreaks across the USA and other disasters around the world. It is so hard to imagine not being able to go home and rest! My heart really goes out to those folks!
Yet, even home and rest pales in comparison to the most important things in our lives...family, friends, and people we work with every day. Over and over in the face of disaster I've heard people say, "We are alright! Everything else can be replaced!"
However, even when precious loved ones are lost we feel the comfort of knowing that this also is not the end. We will be together again in the final "home and eternal rest" in Christ!
So, let me never forget the blessings of the Lord!
In the end, that is all that really matters.
