Yeah, after the pity party of my last post, I thought I should list some of the things that I have going in a positive direction in my life. After all, if all I do is gripe, God may see fit to throw a little Job-action my way to wake me up… and I ain’t ready for that 🙂
God is good. He sent his only begotten Son to die for my sins, and that’s pretty cool.
I have a wife whom I love and who loves me. Yeah, believe it or not, she loves me!
I have two sons that I would die for… when I’m not wanting to strangle them because almost all they do is fight with each other with the sole intention of driving their mother and me insane. I have to remind myself that they are gifts from God and I need to cherish them… which I do. I’d also cherish a little brotherly love from them from time to time 🙂
I have (finally) a decent house. I wish we wouldn’t have had to waited this long to get a decent place, but patience is a virtue that God is trying to teach me (of which I am, I believe, a horrible student.)
I have a job that doesn’t suck (finally.) I like what I do, I feel like I make a difference in the course of our business, my boss is easy to get along with and my coworkers (although the most eccentric group of coworkers I have ever worked with) are all good people that I, for the most part, get along with.
I like snow. It is cold and pretty and it covers up the imperfections of the dead earth created by fall. I really like snow and am thankful for it.
Nebraska isn’t really that bad. Ok… yeah, it’s pretty bad, but things could be worse; I could live in Texas.
I have good friends with good senses of humor (have to have a good sense of humor to be my friend or I’ll drive you completely stinking insane!)
I love my dog, Buffy. She is AWESOME! Beagles rock… even 10-year old ones that shed like there’s no tomorrow.
Life is, for the most part, pretty good. Now that I got the sentimental crap out og the way, I can get back to the griping.
