Numbers 11:1 says, “And the people complained in the hearing of
the Lord about their misfortunes, and when the Lord heard it, his anger was
kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some outlying
parts of the camp.” God was angry when he heard the people complained about
carrying their cross of adversity. This scripture has kept me from complaining
about my own situation. Instead of complaining about what I am going through,
why not celebrate where God has brought me from and where he is bringing me to.
While in the land of in between, out of Egypt, but not quite in the Promise
Land, I am intentionally choosing to be grateful. It’s a struggle sometimes,
therefore I must be intentional. Daily writing in my journal 5 things I am
grateful for is teaching me to give thanks in everything. Today I am thankful
for:
1.
Leftover food. It
means yesterday, I had more than enough.
2.
Visiting mom.
Even though she put me out, I hadn’t seen her in over a week.
3.
A check that came
in the mail. I purchased my daughter grocery for college with money that I
needed for something else. When I returned home, the check was in the mail. The
check covered the purchase.
4.
What God is
revealing to me through this illness. If it had not happened, I would not have known
just how much I really trust God.
5. My mom cave. I have a space
to once again study and craft, at least until May when Camille returns home for
the summer.
