It is easy to get 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.
