thankful

I was just texting my younger son and the subject of being grateful no matter what came up. It dawned on me that although I thank Abba (Father God) each day for just being able to wake up to face another day is truly a gift after some of the things I have been through. I have been doing more complaining than speaking thankfulness for sure for a while now. My family is telling me so pretty much every day, "stop complaining". I absolutely got a good taste of the complaint train with a high school friend of mine I reconnected with. It was literally nonstop pages of text complaints all hours of the day and night. One time it was 3 am and she couldn't sleep so she began texting me assuming my phone was on silent...it should have been I thought.
