This morning as I was praying, thanking God for the blessings He's given to me, I realized I wasn't really thankful for a few things because I complain about them. Then God gave me an epiphany (I love it when He does that) and I heard His voice say, "do you realize in your grumbling that you put pressure on your husband that he isn't a good provider, that he has to figure out how he can work, even harder, to please you?" I completely submitted my way, my ignorance, my will to Him and asked His forgiveness. So many things God has truly blessed me with, straight from His hand, and I still find cause to want, to covet. I'm embarrassed to even admit this, yet maybe in my admission, someone else will pause and thank God, truly thank Him, for the provisions He has blessed them with; to not look at what we "don't" have but to look at all we "do" have.

fabulous post! Isn't it beautiful how God nudges us in the right direction, and when we listen, it blesses our family even more. =)

God has revealed the heavy burden my complaints have put on Brad in the past. And also how much He hates a complaining spirit. Its a tough lesson that is often revisited, but the sweet peace that comes with thankful contentment is overwhelming!Thanks for sharing your epiphany today!
