Something To Think About:

I haven't quit the What's Your Plan series...I've just been slow about finishing it. I have notes on it and all...I just need to take the time to figure out what to say. We have had some illness circling around the house since Sunday night. We are starting to feel better...hopefully, that continues. That was just a little fyi, leading into something to think about...

This man and his wife go on vacation to multiple islands. At each island they have reserved just a basic economy-size rental car. At the first island, he is trying to get his reserved car. The clerk informs him that there was a mix up and there aren't any economy-size rental cars left. They will give him a convertible Mustang instead, at no extra charge.

This continues at each island and each rental car. Each rental is a free upgrade to a better car. They wound up driving the convertible Mustang, Lincoln Town Car, Jaguar, and a Mercedes all together.

Upon arriving back home, the wife told her husband how much fun the trip was. His reply was, "Yes, if only the rental car company hadn't messed up our reservations."

I think that is how we are in life. We focus on what has gone wrong, instead of realizing God's blessings behind it. That's something to think about.
