Still Thankful?

It is truly hard to be thankful when things go wrong.

I was really thankful that my car got unstuck a few days ago, but now I am starting to complain.

I am a complainer. Maybe it is a human thing, maybe it's just me. But when Kal-Tire phones me and says that my car needs more work done to it than a simple wheel-alignment, I have the tendency to complain.

Apparently the guys that helped me to get unstuck a few days ago, good as their intentions might have been, probably should have known what they were doing before they helped. It turned out to be more harmful than helpful.

I know that God is always teaching me.

These past couple of hours spent with God have taught me that I can (and absolutely should!) still be thankful despite some minor costs in my life. I am still alive, still relatively healthy, still have a car to drive, still have enough money to pay for the things I need...etc. I know this list can go on for a while.

God is always faithful.

So I will pay the mechanics with joy and thankfulness. :)
