A new day

Every day we can wake up and decide how our attitude will factor into our day.
Today I woke up with nothing on my schedule, so after a quite day reflecting on life, I decided to have a pity party. It's even harder to feel good about yourself, when people around you see what you need to do and tell you "just do it". Don't you think I'm fully aware of what I need?
I've spent hours surfing through job sites, applying for jobs, filling out resumes. Sometimes it feels like it's not going anywhere.
So just when I've had enough of today, I reach for my bible and open it to this....

"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.
You're blessed when you're content with just who you are- no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought.
You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat.
You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being care-full. you find yourselves cared for. You're blessed when you get your inside world-your mind and heart- put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you really are, and your place in God's family."

I guess I'm blessed :)
