It’s Cold Outside
It’s cold outside!
That is the current thought going through my head this cold winter evening. There are many days right now where I have trouble staying warm and I am not usually cold-blooded. That made me reflect on how I sounded.
“How you sounded?” You may be wondering if I have finally gone around the bend. But I realized that I sound quite whiny when I keep commenting on how cold I am. After all, in just a few short months I will probably be saying how hot I am. And in reality, compared to many around me, I am neither overly cold nor overly hot. I am blessed.
Do we remember to stop and be thankful for our blessings or are we constantly complaining about something. This article is mainly for me, but if someone else can benefit I hope they will read it. It is a short thought, but a needed thought. Please consider the following verses through new eyes and find a way to be thankful even in the cold:
“in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18
“Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,”
Philippians 2:14-15
“Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.”
Philippians 4:11
