The Revitalization of my Life-Day 24

I placed my feet on the ground this morning and I thanked God for giving me another day to do what I do, write and inspire. I haven't worked out in a couple of days, but I am still on it. I must say that today I was inspired by a man that I met yesterday. The guy is a normal guy except for the fact that he can't get around like everyone else. There is something wrong with the left side of his body, but this doesn't stop him. He has a family and a job. As I see him in passing from time to time I speak and we chit chat about college football and then that's it. Well, yesterday was a little different. We spoke as usual and then I told him that people had been saying that it was extremely hot outside. He looked at me with a solid look and then cracked a smile and said, "it may be hot, but I'm thankful. You know I use to be a little bitter because I couldn't get around and play with my kids like I wanted to, but now and everyday that I am walking on top of the dirt and not laying under it, I am thankful. Some times that physical spirit will try to get the best of you and have you believing that things aren't that good for you, but you can’t let it get the best of you. You have to let the supernatural spirit guide you and help you to see the real matters of the world, the matters that matter the most. I might not be able to get around like I want to, but I can get around and that's all that matters." I was taken by this. He was so humble in spite of his flaws as if they didn't exist.

This is how we should be everyday of our life. We should just be thankful for the things that matter. And not only be thankful, but be grateful. If there is something in our life that we don't like that we can do something to change it, don't complain about it, be about it! Start doing what it takes to change it. God has given us several resources to make things better in our life and it's our job to use these resources to the best of our ability. Why would he give us more resources when we are not using the few he has given us. Take the time today to realize what resources God had given you and use them and then watch how things start to change and then he will give you other resources to accommodate your life style as it progresses. Don't sit around and complain about not having a car when you have a bike that you haven't tried to use. If you use that bike God just might provide you with a job that can pay for you a car...but you have to show him that you’re using the resources that he has already given you.
