Sharon and I went out for breakfast this morning. For some reason, I went a little nuts and ordered way too much food. Eggs, bacon, pancakes and biscuits. I felt obligated to eat it all. Now I am so stuffed that I am uncomfortable.
It strikes me how incredibly blessed I am to have this as my main problem this morning. Too much to eat. With all the poverty in the world, all the hungry people, all those who are worried about being safe, having shelter, surviving oppression. Thank you, Lord, for your undeserved provision for me and my family.
Take a moment today to ponder your blessings, to realize how God has spared you from real adversity. How each reasonably healthy day is a gift. Get stuffed with spiritual gratitude. That will never make you uncomfortable.
