Gluten Free living

Recently I found out that I have Celiac disease. What a blow. It is not hard...just inconvenient. I went out to dinner with my husband for his 40th birthday, he ordered our favorite, Lobster Bisque. He added "you want some also, right" RIGHT! I want some. However I couldn't have it. I had a lovely dinner, grilled salmon, rice, broccoli. Why is it that we want so badly what we cannot have. Discontent aka sin. I am learning to be grateful for what I have, not focusing on what I cannot have. Seems like I have been learning this same lesson on gratefulness for awhile. Trials in marriage, trials with health, trials with finances, trials with relationships, trials, trials, trials. Yet I am so blessed and if I will see the goodness of the Lord in my everyday life instead of whining about the trials, I think contentment will come.

Psalm 63:3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.
