45. Inconvenient Blessings

Have you ever found yourself one inconvenience away from a mental breakdown?That was me, just about a week ago.But in this episode, I'm laying out a perspective that has helped me shift from counting my inconveniences to counting my blessings.Whenever any inconvenience arises, I'm asking myself "Who would see this inconvenience as a blessing?" I'm thinking of pioneer parents, refugee mothers, and pretty much anyone who lived 200+ years ago.The truth is, in this day and age we are pretty dang spoiled. And the saddest part is that most of us are MISSING IT.While life certainly still has its challenges, we are so lucky that we get to navigate those challenges with the convenience of modern transportation, electricity, grocery stores, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, the list goes on.Listen in to shed a little light on all the blessings you might have forgotten about. And you might find yourself welcoming each new inconvenience as an opportunity to reflect on how lucky you are.Scripture References:Luke 17:11–19Social Media:Instagram: @walkbesideme.podTikTok: @walkbesideme.pod
