edge

Hello, people! How was it having your parents at Edge last night? I thought it was great and hopefully nothing too humiliating happened to you. : )

This week I've been thinking about how blessed we are to live where we do and to have what we have. Things that we count as burdens may actually incredible blessings that other people in the world could only wish for. Example: Braces. Yes, they're terrible for a time, but most people in the world can't even go to the dentist, much less an orthodontist! Another example: Parents who always want to know what's going on with you. Yes, you find it overbearing, but there are children all over the world who have parents that care more about how to pay for their drug addiction than their kids.

I want to live with a more thankful heart and never take for granted what God has given us. Know what I mean? Here's a little verse I like about rejoicing...

Psalm 68:4 Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who rides on the clouds — his name is the LORD— and rejoice before him.
