Murder My Misery: Self-discovery through Christ.

My friends B & D finally got a car today after many years without transportation. Well, I called her to discuss the bug repellent issue for our unhoused friends downtown. Bug repellent is very expensive, and I personally cannot afford to purchase it. Thankfully, TikTok reminded me of Skin So Soft, which my Father-in-law swore by as a mosquito repellent! Anyway, while we were discussing this, she told me how joyful they were; they were in tears because they were going through the Wendy’s drive-thru for the first time in years, in their car.

I was instantly humbled…I never thought of the drive-thru as a luxury or a blessing. It was just something that was always there, and I had taken it for granted till this very day. It’s just not something I even thought about. In that moment, I started tearing up. How can I take something so simple for granted? It brought them so much joy that they were crying… over being able to use a drive-thru. How have I become this person who can’t see blessings that literally stare me in the face almost every single day? Why have I become such a negative Nancy lately?

I honestly don’t know the answers to these questions; however, I will change this negative mindset! This is completely unacceptable behavior as a child of God and one who desires to serve our Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you, Lord, for the reminder!
