Ungrateful

While waking up this morning, I did my usual. Woke up, walked like a zombie to my coffee maker, then decided to wash the few things that were in the sink. I turned the water over to hot and nothing came out...so either I decide not to do the dishes or wash the dishes in cold water. At this point I started ranting in my head about how this is the second time the pipes have frozen and left me without hot water in the past few weeks and I am so over this ridiculously cold weather but then the Lord knocked my off my complaining pedestal real fast....

1 in 6 people do not have access to clean water.
One in six.

I have water, I have tons of water. It is just cold at the moment. By tonight, the pipe will be unfrozen and I can go back to having my nice, clean, endless amount of warm (and cold) water. Man, am I so ungrateful.
In the past four days I have had a pipe bust and spill a few feet of water right under my feet and I've had to wash dishes in cold water but I still have water.
The Lord made it very clear to me this morning that I am so ungrateful. We say that we are blessed but do we really think about how blessed we really are? I don't.
I never thank the Lord for the things I am so used to having that I do not even think twice about. I ask Him why He does things in my life that I question at the moment but I NEVER say thank you for the water, house, bed, and shower that I have daily....
I am so thankful that the He stopped me today and broke my heart for the people who die every day from not having access to clean water.


Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
-Ephesians 5:20
