Thankful

I have started thinking lately of how much I have to be thankful for. The more I hear people complaining all the time about anything, I just have to think to myself, no wonder God says to stay away from complaining and arguing. I would much rather be around positive people and thinking about what God has given me and blessed me with each day. I know I have alot to work on in this area, but I can really say that life is much better when you have a positive attitude and not so negative. I see so many people that have things bad in their life, but sometimes I act like I have it worse then anyone. When someone else complains is when I realize how I don't like it, but when I complain I fail to recognize it as much. This is not good. I guess its that way with sin too. I also feel like the more I complain, the more God's spirit is being smothered in my life. I would imagine it's not pleasing to God to hear me complain so much, since I am a representative of God, I don't display much faith in God when I am complaining.
So, I will try to not blog or email in a complaining way, but if I do, you can let me know.
