Do you ever just feel out of sorts? Not mad or upset or sad - just not 'right'? I don't know how to describe any better. Just out of sorts.
That's been me the last few weeks. There's nothing particularly wrong, no one big thing I can point to and say, 'That's what's making me feel bad'. I've just not felt like myself.
And that's not okay with, well, myself.
Because I sure do have a lot to be thankful for! Who am I to sit around feeling sorry for myself, when God has blessed me immeasurably above all I could ask or imagine? Just because those blessings aren't in the form I particularly asked for doesn't excuse my ungratefulness. I've been acting like a 5-year-old, who upon opening all her beautiful gifts on Christmas morning, looks around, stamps her foot and says grumpily, 'But I didn't get the dollhouse I asked for!'. In fact, I'm surprised He hasn't reached down and spanked me for my poor attitude lately.
Thankfully for me, and my behind, His mercies are new every morning and I can start this month with a brand new slate. Determined to be thankful for all that I do have, instead of focusing on the things that I don't have.
Today I am thankful for....days that on the surface seem trying but are really just God's way of showing you how many people love and care for you.
What are you thankful for today?

Wow, amazing post! I'm thankful today for God's provision in my life and the fact that He saved the church yesterday.
It sounds like you've got a good positive outlook going!
I have "out of sorts" periods of time too..just dang ol' bluesy and negative..and some way or another God sends a little whisper to remind me of how Blessed i am.. Great post! :)
