A Check-up From the Neck-up!

That's what I need today, because I'm being a mean, old cranky-pants.

I haven't felt well in four days because of the ridiculously high allergen levels plaguing OKC right now. I'm stuffed up, scratchy-throated, tired, and thanks to the medications, spaced out! Still, that's no excuse to accost your husband for finishing off the peanut butter, although he did put the (mostly) empty jar back into the cabinet after his midnight snack...

Why is it that we can be so intentional about our relationship with Christ and then fail so miserably at showing His grace and mercy to the people we love? Lord, forgive me for being an irritable drama queen today. Please help me to remember to put the little things into perspective. And to do just that, here's this:

Things I'm Incredibly Grateful For Right Now:

1. My amazing husband who forgives me when I'm a grouch, made me dinner from scratch on Monday, always keeps our lawn in perfect shape, and still finds me attractive, even when I'm sick in bed and haven't showered in two days
2. My adorable cuddle-bug, Tino, who may love me even more than Bryan
3. My sweet co-worker, who made me peanut butter toast after I told her how I'd made an ass of myself this morning
4. My great new job, pretty office and comfortable chair
5. My wonderful church friends, who I get to serve with tonight
6. My mom, who's one of my best friends, and always seems to understand
7. The Chick-Fil-A coupon I used today to get a free sandwich

There. That helped.
