lessons from the snow

We have had some SERIOUS snow here in Denver the past week or so and my wife and I had something interesting happen. The entire town of Denver was pretty much shut down last week and there were no supply trucks to stock the stores an also gas trucks to refill the gas stations. My wife went into the store to get a couple of groceries and said that all the salad was gone off the shelves and some other basic food was all gone. Then we went to fill up our car with gas and the gas stations were empty. It was very eye opening to see that we really take for granted some of the simple things in our lives. I think that is the same with God. When everything is going good, we don’t really think about our lives and the things that God takes care of that we never see. Then when things get rough in life we get all bent out of shape start to blame God and think everything is his fault. I guess that is why God wants us to thank God for the little things in life instead of just expecting life to roll along. God really is into using any and all situations to teach us the lessons that he wants us to learn.
