I, too, focus so much on what I want next that I often do not appreciate what I have--what has been provided for me by God. As we work our way through fall, I feel that this is a good season to start taking account of the blessings that have been bestowed on me and my family. The time of harvest helps me reflect about the things that I have done which have borne fruit and those that have not.
Despite how busy I've been, I need to step back and take the time to be thankful for the wonderful moments that have made up my life.
