“So of course every morning our Benjamin has to go out in the field and take inventory over it all..and this morning it was a mess..because we had us some rain last night..but he must go out there..or he will just whine at me..and talk..lol..well, in his doggy language..but of course I bundle up grab my umbrella and out the door we go..Amen..but any ways as we come back in he was soaken wet..so we have a mud room when you come in the back of our home..so that is where we keep his towels that we dry him off with and wipe his paws with..Amen..and this morning..I was like Benjamin..you are a mess..and you are soaken wet..what in the world am I gonna do with you?..Amen..and I say but you’re such a good boy..Amen..and mommy loves you..and I say to myself well, Mandi it does come with the territory..Amen..and isn’t that true guys in life..we all want the promotion..but then when the hard work has to take place..and things get a little hectic..well, we don’t want it no more..Amen..or you rush to get married..but than you are not happy about it..because you are picking up after your spouse..or you have to adjust to them and their personalities as well as they have to adjust to yours..Amen..or you want the new vehicle..and your all happy about it..until the payment is due..and you may need new tires along the way..and of course you know taxes will be due..Amen..or as I say we all want that cute little puppy dog..until the fact that you have to take care of them..run them to the groomers..take them to the vet..maybe some training courses..you gotta play with them..and as I say like me this morning..clean up after them..Amen..but as well it all comes with the territory..Amen!”

“So what is it this day that you may be complaining about?..Amen..because I just want us all to know that we take the good with the bad..Amen..but as well we have more good than bad in life..and in all of our lives..if we fail to see that we will live miserable lives..Amen..we lose sight of what all the blessings we have and all that God has given to us..and that is not at all a good place to get at in our lives..Amen..because the enemy blinds us..2 Corinthians 4:4..and he wants us to murmur and complain about those little things..Philippians 2:14-16..Amen..but I tell ya guys..I will take the mess of Benjamin my puppy dog all the day long..because he is awesome..and he does shed..and he does leave hair all over our home..that we are constantly cleaning up..and all day long..Amen..but I wouldn’t trade it for anything..because he is such a HUGE blessing to our family.Amen..so I see the goodness of him..his kindness..his love..and his humor..and what a humor he has..he fills us with so much joy..Amen..but today I just hope and pray that if you are complaining about something in your life..I pray you don’t just focus on the bad thing..of whatever it may be..but as well you look at all the good..Amen..because if not we will throw away all of God’s goodness and blessings that He alone has given..life is not gonna be perfect..but as I say when we look at the good..and all the blessings..we can get over the fact of the mishaps..or the inconveniences..and we stay and we live in the abundance of Gods goodness and blessings that the bible says He loads us up daily with..Psalm 68:19..so stay looking at the bright side of your life..and stay focused on the good and all the good of your life..and than and only than will you be satisfied..and live a life of contentment..not being so uptight about it all..especially those things in our lives that simply do come with the territory..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
