Count Your Blessings!


If you ever find yourself getting upset at something... remember that it is a gift- a blessing... then try and go a week without it and see what happens.  I realized this since our dishwasher is broken and we have to hand wash everything (including over thanksgiving)... it makes me really consider what I am eating to create minimal pans to clean...  The environmentalist in me is being threatened by the laziness-  paper plates vs. dishes that I have to wash... (don't worry... holdin' strong to the dishes!)
But it reminds me of the importance of "fasting" from certain things... be it food... an appliance you take for granted... when you get upset at your computer for going so slow imagine all the work you'd be doing without it.  I'd like to see any of us go a week without running water.  It really makes you appreciate the things in your life that you take for granted and reminds you of how blessed you truly are.
