It is easy to use to things we see everyday and fail to appreciate how beautiful they are. We get use to our kids, our health or our spouse to name just a few. It is so easy to forget the gifts we have and just long after what we don’t have.
When I got married I made a promise to never get use to Debbie and to enjoy and appreciate her everyday. I have found that it takes effort and intentional action to keep that promise. We had a great date last night and I so enjoyed who God has given me as a life partner. Those of you who know us know without a doubt I married up.
I have also made that promise to never forget what a privilege it is to live in Frauenberg Germany. It is so beautiful here. Every morning Sam and I go for a walk in the forest, it is really pretty and it is winter. (Today the walk was in SNOW!) I took some of these pics the other day (Before the snow). If you look carefully you can see Sam as a small speck of black and white in the distance.
I pray wherever you are today you would thank God for what He has given you. I pray that today your focus would be on what you have and not on what you do not have.
