Taking Things For Granted


How easy it is to take things for granted without even realizing.  Take this past week.  Winter arrives, thermometer starts to dive, want heat – push button to turn up furnace.  To my surprise, nothing happens.  Depending on something that has always been available and in working order and have it suddenly taken away, means adjustments need to be made (especially if your furnace guy is going to be a day and a half later). 

I have so many people and things in my life that, without meaning to, I just assume that they are always going to be there; and be there in working order.  This is everything from family, friends, health, time, the country we live in… and the list goes on.  People and things we care about and rely on can be taken away in a heartbeat.  Take the time to tell those around you how much they mean.  Be grateful for what you have and take every opportunity to bless others around you with kindness, love and time.
