Are you a complainer?
Are you ungrateful?
Are you a backbiter?
Do you talk about others?
Do you put others down?
Do you have nice things to say about others?

I do my very best to never fall into any of those categories.
I hear and see others talk about me, they think I don't know what they are saying, they think I can't tell things by the look on thier face, they think I am stupid and can not tell by thier actions. They think they have it hidden so well.
Poor them. I pray for each and every one of them. I pray that they can have a love for everyone. An unconditional love. A love that doesn't put that other person down. A love that doesn't allow that jealousy in, that envy and hatefulness.
Me, I will continue doing what God has helped me to do and to smile and to be friendly to them and Thank God he has taken away the hurt of it and when I see it now I can just heap coals of fire on thier head and be even nicer.

I have much to be thankful for this day and every day of my life.
God has been so good to me, better to me than anyone could ever be.
He has given me more than I deserve.
He has helped me through so much.
He has given me something that I hope shows to others.
A love for all, no matter who they are. No matter what they do. I will still love them.
And he is helping me to change into a better person. I feel myself making very small steps in getting out of my shell. In trying to be more a person that can talk to others without being scared out of my wits. In being in a group of people and not feeling like I want to just crawl under a chair and hide. I now am only half scared out of my wits and I only want to hide behind someone instead of under a chair. Haha

Well it is now the first hour of Wednesday and I have lots to do today so I better get myself to bed so that I can get up this morning and get the boys to school.
Travis will be home tonight. Paw-Paw and Maw-Maw will be in tonight and I have a ton to do today once my day starts.
So goodnight to all!!!
Be Thankful
Be Friendly
