Thank you all for the phone calls and face book inquiries on our safety during the storms here in Oklahoma. We are fine. The storms went by us to the north and south; all we had was rain and wind.
I was reading Adrian Rogers this morning and I felt compelled to share.
Grateful—for We Are Blessed!
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” - Philippians 4:6
Sometimes we complain when we shouldn’t.
I remember one time driving across the country with a gentleman. At the time, all of our children were in private schools and Joyce and I were “dying of maltuition.” I began complaining a little bit to the man about the great cost of sending a son to college.
He looked at me and said, “I’d give anything in the world if my son would go to college.”
I thought, “Oh, what an ungrateful spirit I have!”
Do you ever complain about dirty dishes? There are lots of folks in Oklahoma that would like to have some dirty dishes. We are to be thankful in all things. Today remember how good you have it and then pray for those that have lost so much.
Rejoice in God’s blessings in your life. Nip that temptation in the bud to complain and grumble about your life today.
We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and financial gifts. We are so grateful for your encouraging words and God reminds us that He is still here and that each of you are here with us. So Thank You.
Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
