I have been busy for the past couple days and hardly had time to stop. Well, since it was so cold today, we didn't have soul winning... I took advantage of that, and got my laundry done and spent extra time with God. This morning was one of those days that I just didn't want to get moving. Jim and I watched a movie last night, and it was one of those that makes you wonder "what if". At first it made me think of things I missed out on.... but then I started thinking about what a good life I have. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jim loves me and would do anything for me, I have a nice home, 2 wonderful children, great friends, an awesome church, the best Pastor and Pastor's wife, my extended family is close, I have good health... etc, etc, etc. I hate to say it, but there was a time in my life I did not appreciate what I have AT ALL. Sometimes, those thoughts still come up. But something I have learned by being at Grace Baptist, is to appreciate what I have and love people now. Seems really simple doesn't it, and yet sometimes it is so hard. It is so easy to think about things we don't have, but it sure is more pleasant appreciating the wonderful things we do have.

It was called "The Lakehouse". I will tell you about it tomorrow... probably not something you would want to watch honestly.
