Remember Job from the bible? Well today I met a man that made me think of a modern day Job.
He's in his 70s, had a very successful business that he built from the ground up and planned to hand down to his sons.  He had 4 sons and a daughter. none of the sons wanted the business.
one died in a car accident, one died from a heart attack ,one died by drowning and one is in prison.  The daughter is doing great by the way.

Without being able to work his business alone he sold everything and last year had an accident that caused him to be paralysed from the waist down for a year. With alot of therapy he is able to walk stifly.  Today he was waiting for a judge to let him know if he was divorced.  I walked away from hearing his story and just couldn't get  this tragic story put of my head.

We complain about  the dumbest things. and and are never satisfied,  then we run into someone who has really had problems and it kind of humbles us, as it should. We complain cause our house needs small repairs when someone elses house is blown away by a tornado or washed away in a flood or burned up in a fire leaving them with nothing.  What will it take to be Thankful for what we have. I feel humbled when I hear of these things. GOD forgive me for complaining when I should be greatful.
