A Morning's Realization

This morning after the typically stressful routine of getting the family ready, fed, dressed, and out the door to church, I found myself fuming behind the wheel. And I stopped myself, wondering how much of my day do I waste resenting things rather than recognizing the blessings in my life. The thought came to me that marriage is a covenant just like God's covenant to us. Each day, I click and slide perceived disappointments like an abacus, but that's not what God wants me to do. He wants me to love those in my life like He loves me. Each moment with a clean slate. Despite those uncountable ways I fail God, His arms are always open to me. Through this, I realized that the verse "Do unto others as you would have done unto you" does not necessarily apply just in my relationships with people. I am so thankful for a gracious God.
