I am loved.

I just finished watching the movie Skin. It takes place in South Africa during the apartheid.

Jesus has blessed me so much. I have a husband who loves me, a healthy little boy, and a home to call home. I can't imagine what it must be like to have my father disown me, my husband beat me, and to live in a place where people won't even look at me because of the color of my skin.

It amazes me how easy it is for me to be discontent or ungrateful. It's not enough that Jesus DIED for MY sins, but I even complain about all the wonderful things He's given me. I don't know how He puts up with me! It is a good thing that He is God, and I am not. I am definitely not that gracious or merciful.

Today was a difficult day but I have so much to be grateful for.

Thank you Jesus for what you've done for me. Teach me to be thankful in everything.
