From a little book

This is from a book I have by Charles R. Swindoll ...entitled Bedside Blessings



God knows where we are. Sometimes we forget this. Sometimes we even feel that God has forgotten us. He hasn't. God knows knows exactly where we are. So when you are afflicted with those forsaken feelings, when you're on the verge of throwing a pity party thanks to those despairing thoughts, go back to the Word of God.

  2. If we think about true suffering in the world, we wouldn't take pity on ourselves since we are so blessed. That's the way I look at every day. When I go to bed at nite, I am soooooo very thankful for my bed, my sheets, my pillow. It's the best feeling and yet so many are homeless and have no food. It's always good to keep life in perspective and give gratitude for each and every day. Love ya, Tammy

  3. GREAT WORDS THAT MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE IN GENERAL. I AM THANKFUL FOR EVERY PERSON I KNOW IS MOSTLY HEALTHY AND NEVER HUNGRY. I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT. I PRAY FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM EVERYDAY.
    GOD BLESS KAY
