Praise that Steadies Me

Snow days again. The kids and I are all disappointed that there won't be CBS (Community Bible Study) tomorrow. I love the beauty of the snow outside and I enjoy the warmth of the fire my men make. . . and yet I'm eager for warmth and sunshine and outside time, too. "Never satisfied are the eyes of man" the Bible says, and I know it to be true of me. But I don't want it to be true and it doesn't have to be true. Rather, I would be satisfied in HIM, seeing His goodness and His gifts all around me and trusting Him for all that I need. Oh, that I would choose to PRAISE and give thanks instead of thinking about and asking for the things I want to be different!
