not always grateful

I am getting ready to leave on a vacation in a couple of days.  I am going to Michigan to see my uncle and aunt and to visit some of Phyllis’ friends.  I must confess that there are all too many times I really don’t count my blessings.  My wife wants to spend time with me and I enjoy her company.  That is wonderful!  In fact she is a wonderful mate.  Great news!  I have two wonderful children who married exceptional women.  They are making it on their own and doing much better than I was at their age.  Can it get any better?  I am going to visit friends.  I have people that want to see me and be with me and they don’t have to do that thing. I pastor a church with many wonderful people who are so kind and loving to me and my family.  Wow!  It can get better and it does!  What bothers me about all of this is that there are all too many times I look at what I don’t have and want more and forget what blessings I already have.  I am going to ask God today to open my eyes to the many blessings that are right under my nose all the time.  I am blessed in so many ways I really can’t count them all.
