Rx For My Problems!
I was re-reading some old posts and came across this one. I'm posting it again to remind myself to keep it all in perspective.
Oh, and the picture is another fabulous view at Lakeside!

The Side Effects of Life
How selfish we sometimes are, whining about the side effects of life, instead of rejoicing in the cure for our "disease", Jesus Christ! Let's thank Him that we have a house to clean, and kids to clean up after. Thank Him that we can see the sun, instead of griping about how hot it is (or soon will be!) outside. Thank Him that we have a car to drive where we need to, instead of complaining about the high price of gas.
I know this sounds like one of those corny forwards that circulate in our email boxes, but please take this to heart. Our lives are a blink of an eye; let's not waste them complaining about the side effects!

Sweet encouragement.
Agreed and very well said!
I know-we all complain-but it is true-without the love of Jesus, we would not have the love for each other. And without God's love, endless abundant love and guidance, how much of our live would be possible. And that our Children-no matter how much we complain about there actions/iinactions, they are a gift from God, and as such, they are-each in there own way beautiful They enrich us like nothing. Sometime, I know that we all need to be reminded of that. Thanks
I must be easily moved to tears today. I love it! That was just beautiful. "These are just the side effects of the rich life I've given you" I'm gonna print that and frame it and put it all over the doors that lead to the messies : )my family leaves.
