Have we met?

On this past Monday, I received the pleasure of being able to sit at my favorite coffee shop after work and sip tea while finishing a book on my Kindle. While I sat there and gazed out the window, the spirit of Gratitude came and sat with me.  As he showed me ALL of the wonderful things that God has blessed me with, tears came to my eyes.

I recently heard a pastor say that Satan is good at making us look at what we don't have in the effort of taking our eyes off of all the things we DO have. I confess that I have been caught up in that area of deception served up by the enemy of my very soul.  I have a life that many people would give up a lot to have. I have a stable home, a good job, reliable transportation, a faithful husband, a son in college with a 4.0 GPA. I have amazing friends along with brothers & sisters-in-Christ that truly love me. Most importantly I am saved and filled with the Holy Spirit.

I am glad that the Spirit of Gratitude came by and introduced himself to me, I thought I knew him but I realized after that encounter I hadn't really known him as well as I thought I had.
