Thankful

Today was one of those days. They don't come along much, but ocassionally I have one of those days where I just miss my family and friends so much I forget about all of the blessings in my life. I feel miserable, or make myself feel miserable, and just don't want to do anything accept mope. Then you call on those that understand, right?
Well the first person I called understood perfectly well and basically put me in my place. She doesn't care much for mopers and helped me to remember how grateful I am, or should be, to be in the position I am in. That person is my wife, Nancy. God uses her regularly to put me in my place and I don't mind admitting it. In fact, I am grateful for it.
The second person is one who understands great suffering yet never let's it get in the way of worship. Tommy & his wife Claire have been through the ringer and always seem to come out fine on the other side. I don't mean to say that everything turns out rosy, but they have achieved something many never will. They are content with their situation whatever that may be at the moment. They would love for things to be different, but they never complain and are always a blessing to others. They know that God is in control. I know they are a blessing to me.
Tommy, Claire, I love you both and I am glad God has put you in my life. I will continue to pray that God blesses you and heals you.
