"With unwanted burdens come undeserved blessings"
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
Habakkuk 3:17-19 KJV.
Have you heard someone or have you questioned God when in times of sickness or other trials? I have and i am so ashamed that i would complain after all He has done for me. after all he has furnished us with food, a house to live in, and friends..you know these are blessings many people don't have.. then there are the Spiritual blessings. we have the Word of God, the Holy Bible that we can hold in our hands and read..we can read of the knowledge of His saving grace, we can receive the comfort of His Spirit, and most of all the promise of life everlasting with Him..Glory to God!!!!!!! think about your blessings and i'll betcha your grumblings and your why me/ will turn into praise ..
I love the old hymns and as i was writing this old song came to mind..here's a couple veses of it and i know you have sung it many a time.It always brings tears to my eyes..

Count your blessings
Name them one by one
Count your blessings
See what God has done
Count your blessings
Name them one by one
Count your many blessings
See what God has done
When upon life's billows
You are tempest tossed
When you are discouraged
Thinking all is lost
Count your many blessings
Name them one by one
And it will surprise you
What the Lord has done[/blockquote]
