I was sitting in my parents living room today just relaxing and watching TV. I got up to use the rest room and had to pass the door that leads outside… I took a glance out the window and noticed the beautiful view of the backyard and pond. At that moment it dawned on me for the first time in the 18 years I lived there how lucky I was to endure this view every single day.

I took this amazing view for granted for 18 years… I began to think of how unbelievable that is. I never once took a second to thank God for blessing me with such an amazing place to grow up. I guess I never felt it was very important… or thought it was all my parents hard work that brought everything into my life. Yes, their hard work helped and has made my life great but without the grace of God none of it would be possible.

I began to sit and wonder how I could ever become so selfish. Yeah, I like to beat myself up some times because a lot of my past just doesn’t seem to make sense to me. I have so many questions that I, myself, cannot answer alone. I must look to God for answers. I believe God made me go through an extremely selfish faze in order to make me see him. He made me take another look at my life… He made me look at the world a different way… And he still sometimes brings my selfishness back into my life and I believe this is to remind me of my past.

I think the Lord doesn’t want me to forget my past to make sure I never fall back into those bad habits. I love God for this and will forever live for him.

My main question is: What is it in your life that you are overlooking or have been overlooking for awhile? Don’t take things for granted any longer… Because you won’t realize your taking it for granted until it’s gone.

Just a little quick thought for the day. I hope everyone has a blessed Sunday and a great week ahead of them!
