As you might have guessed from this week’s prayer prompts, Sunday’s message was about complaining. Like a sermon on patience, God always seems to give me ample opportunities to put into practice what I’ve learned. 😉

Well, I met a friend for our weekly Tuesday morning prayer breakfast before work today and refilled my Diet Coke as I left. When I got to work, I dropped my soda as I was getting out of the car, and it busted and spewed all over one of my pants leg & foot. Decision time! Complain or not?

Instead of complaining, I decided to be thankful that I am wearing dark slacks today, it didn’t take long to dry, and I didn’t have to drive all the way back home to change clothes for work! 😉  If I had worn the khakis that I was originally planning to wear today, then it would have left an ugly dark stain. OR, if it had been coffee instead of soda, then I would stink. See? There’s always something to be thankful for.
