What are you taking for granted?
This inquiry is easy to answer, but painful. I am quick to overlook the love, care and long-suffering of my wife and kids. I overlook the freedoms I enjoy as a citizen of the US and the blessings of living in a first-world country. Too quickly, my impatience shows while standing in line or anger erupts when cut-off in traffic. In some cases, it is with the outside voice and other times it remains internal. The heat or A/C modify the temperature upon command, the car starts with the twist of a key and the paycheck clears every two weeks. It's 80 degrees Fahrenheit, gentle breeze blowing, sangria on the porch, writing a blog post, connected to the Internet that is connected to the world and amazing people like you. My heart breaks for those that lost their lives in a night club in Orlando and the families that began their mourning today. By the time you read this, it will have been 24 hours since 50 people were murdered and countless others maimed. Let's not take this life for granted.
Who and what are you grateful for?
