Does it really matter if.....
1. you have to stand in the grocery line longer than you want to?
2. the restaurant got your order wrong?
3. your child peed their pants?
4. you have to pay almost 4 dollars for gas?
5. you are stuck behind a "Sunday" driver?
6. your newspaper got all wet on the driveway?
7. your dog pooped on your carpet?
8. you have to wait an hour over your appointment time for the doctor?
9. someone waved to you with their middle finger?
10. stamps are now 44 cents?
11. you are in the drive thru for over 5 minutes?
12. you stained your favorite pair of pants?
13. the pastor didn't meet your expectations? ( I could write a whole blog on that!)
14. someone was incredibly rude to you?
15. you were disappointed in the actions of a friend?
16. your washing machine broke and to the laundry mat you must go?
17. one of your manicured nails just broke?
It just takes a split second in time, for life to be put in perspective. One phone call, with news that makes your heart skip a beat.....and you realize all the other "inconveniences" in life, are really just that, inconveniences, and you would take them all in place of the "news" you just received.
Perspective, my dear friends, ..... may we gain it now......

If only more people would take a moment and appreciate the blessings they do have. Life can change in an instant. I totally agree with this post. We are all guilty of having moments of no patience and frustration. Life is too short for that.
Yes, thanks Stacie.... We are so blessed and have so much and need to stop and appreciate it all..... and live a life of gratitude.... Hugs to you my dear, dear "daughter".....Mama Terry
