It's so hard to complain. I have lots of things that I'd change, or fix...and many things I need to do. I'm not a great housekeeper, could be a better wife, better mom. I can be lazy at work sometimes. I pay someone to clean my house for me. I don't talk to my mom like I should. Lots of issues in my family tree.
But...I have a husband who loves me and comes home to me every night. We have 3 beautiful daughters who are all attending college. We are all healthy. Our hearts have continued to beat for another day. No phone calls lately telling us that we are facing a tragedy. We have a home, we all have cars to drive. We have many luxuries (tvs, computers, fake nails, iPhones, etc.). What on earth could I complain about?
Make no mistake where the blessing come from. God. He has blessed us. Immensely. He may challenge us with tragedy tomorrow, but in the meantime, we count every breath we take as another blessing. Times five. Every day.
Thank You, Lord.
Hmm...I should post a recipe... How about Dump Cake?
1 box white cake mix
1 can of cherry pie filling
1 can of crushed pineapple
1 stick of butter
Pecans, optional
Spread the pineapple (with juice) in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Add cherries, spread evenly. (Add the pecans here if you choose to use them) Then top with the cake mix, sprinkled over the cherries. Cover this with pats of butter. Bake at 350 until slightly browned on top.
