I'm thankful for the fleas. Yes, you heard me right. I am thankful for the fleas. You see, this past week I was doing a lot of complaining and grumbling about the fleas. Then that still small voice, said softly "be thankful for the fleas". Thankful for the fleas?! What are you kidding me? These things are pests! They bite us and annoy me. Bit still I heard "be thankful for the fleas". So I sat down to come up with why I am thankful for the fleas...
1. My house is cleaner then it has been in a while, and I didn't have to do it all by myself.
2. Everything has been washed or wiped down. 3 times.
3. I got to get out of the house. With good reason and didn't have to feel guilty about wasting time walking
around the mall.
So there you have it, I found three things to be thankful for. Perhaps there might be more if I really sat down long enough. But then the fleas would bite :-).
The fleas are all gone, but it took the Terminix guys two trips to get them all. But they are gone now. And I am very thankful for that. I did learn an important lesson, and that was just to be thankful. Quit whining. What about you? Are you thankful for the trials in your life? Or do you just sit and whine and complain? STOP IT! :) Start looking on the bright side instead of focusing on the negative. It does wonders for the attitude!
