god´s been teaching me a lot about being thankful lately.
with all of the things i´m doing here in costa rica, i find myself feeling a little burdened sometimes, loaded down by all that i need to do.
but then i remember, these are LIVES that GOD has GIFTED me to LOVE for HIM.
it is beautiful that he has opened so many doors and that all i have to do is walk through the doorway and be a part.
i never want what i do to become a burden or an obligation. every thing i do during every single day is a gift from the one that has placed it in my path.
it seems like sometimes, when God gives us a gift to unwrap, we ignore it and then complain that he has forgotten us. it´s just like the kids in the Precario neighborhood. When we feed them donuts, a VERY special treat, they will come up to me, with donut in hand and ask for more...
my prayer is that God would teach us how to OPEN our eyes and SEE the gifts he´s given us...the lives, the resources, the means.
that we wouldnt complain about our blessings. he holds all things together. not me
