Have You Ever Noticed?

Have you ever noticed how the blogs you really want to write you shouldn't?  I mean who wants to hear about how you have a bad attitude or made a wrong decision or had a really lazy day and got nothing done.  Not that any of these things ever describe me personally, I'm just saying, hypothetically speaking....  and maybe there are people out there who WOULD actually like to read about all your shortcomings so that they could feel better about their own but that doesn't exactly offer the correct motivation to have a whine and complaint pity party on yourself now does it?  And then, when you think about all the things you would like to write, but shouldn't, you realize that in retrospect you really don't have all that much to whine or complain about anyway....I mean compared to living in a trash city in India or being separated from your family for months or years while your husband is off fighting in a war.  Or your children going hungry because your husband can't, or won't, work.  Of course the list of ways people TRULY have to suffer goes on and on.  And I guess since God's word is sufficient, He's got my puny list of whines and complaints covered:

"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.  And let endurance have it's perfect result so that you may be perfect and complete lacking in nothing."  James 1:2-4

"Rejoice always;  pray without ceasing;  in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."  I Thessalonians 5:16-18

So, I guess I really don't have anything to write about today after all.
