Dog Tired?

Have you ever felt like you've hit a wall and you just want to take the phones off the hooks and close all windows and just hide under the covers so you can rest?! Do you find yourself behind in cleaning, paperwork and errands? Is today the day you just want to stay home but you have too many people depending on you? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions then I have some news that you probably weren't ready for. But, you are blessed! Yes, and very blessed in deed! I find my self in this same area and as I groaned to walk to the coffee pot at five this morning I'm thinking, there are those that didn't sleep in a bed last night...that don't have a coffee machine, that don't have covers, house slippers, a robe, that don't have pets that love them, or friends that need them, or family. There are those that can't walk, or wake up in a hospital, or worse. I'm not saying this to bring anyone down, but I think for me, I need to change my thinking! I am blessed! I mean not just for things mentioned and seen, but for things unseen! I have the joy of the Lord who is my strength, I have a purpose for my life and a God that works through me! I have fantastic Christian friends and the best church in the world not to mention the best Pastor! I have the Holy Spirit to guide me and give me wisdom and understanding! I have God watching me and loving me, only seeing the good in me?!? I get to pray, read, share, give, love, breathe and bask in the sun (son)!! Please remind us Lord to be grateful and count our blessings! Please don't let me give in so quickly to murmuring, which your Word states is up there with murder!? I want to be found praising you knowing that each step I take, each beat of my heart, each breath I breathe in is only because You gave those to me! Even when those are gone...drumroll please....I go live with you in heaven for ever and ever in a new body that doesn't get tired or old! I'm beyond happy I woke up dog tired because this is just a test ... Greater is He who is in Me than those that are in the world! When I'm weak, He's strong!! So, I have a decision... I can walk by the Spirit!! Then I won't carry out the desires of the flesh. Thank you Jesus for. My life!!
