I mean it - No Whining!!!

I am thankful for my little bitty kitchen and my itsy bitsy room.  First off because it is not a bridge underpass or a cardboard box or a Suzuki sedan.  The room has a warm bed and a heater and a/c.  It has lights and a TV and cable of a sort. It is warm when it is cold outside and I don't have to park it in a truck stop.  I don't have to park it at a roadside park or get arrested for parking it in the street or in a public park, where would be criminals and perverts have made it impossible for me to do safely, without getting arrested for sleeping and have the police tow it to the impound and cost me hundreds of dollars that I didn't have in the first place or I wouldn't have been sleeping with my dog in the car.  I would have at least been sleeping in a room as nice as the one I'm sleeping in.  I've also learned that to not be thankful for what I have right now disqualifies me for being thankful for the transition that God and I have prepared for me.  Incidentally, this kind of hope and this kind of faith is exactly what got me from underneath the bridge to the nice itsy bitsy room that I'm in right now.  So I want to thank God for the nice large house that he is preparing for me to move into soon.  I thank him that it has everything that my itsy bitsy room has in amenities and bells and whistles and then some. I thank him that it is paid for and it will not get me or anyone that is associated with it into debt but help us to get free from debt and take us a step closer to our goal of financial independence.  God you are so awesome - Thanks!!!
Now let me thank you for my health, food, transportation and communication devices like my phone, the us mail, and my computer and internet connection.  I want to thank you for all of the hard work that everyone that made these things possible have done to make them possible!  Again God you are awesome!! And again I say - Do not whine or complain around me!!!   I have my health and lots of wonderful friends and family and don't you dare whine or complain about one of them!!  Even if you are one of them.  They all require the grace and love of God to enable them to have what they need to get through and to be thankful for all of the blessings that they have. So don't hinder that by being spoiled and ungrateful or complaining and whining like a little girl!  Please leave your comments - but don't whine!!!  So much to be thankful for!  Stop back in to see how awesome God is continuing to be or to leave a comment about what He's doing in your life!  Thanks TKR
