Too Good to Tell

I don't know what's wrong. I can't think of anything. I guess life is really good right now.

I don't have any enemies, and I don't think anybody has applied for the position in a while.

I'm ridiculously healthy for a middle-age person. My cholesterol and blood pressure and glucose levels are all in the normal range, without medication. I take no prescriptions, and haven't in years.

Stress hasn't really been a factor lately, and I keep a genuine smile on my face. We eat a great diet, have no debt, and have a nice house and two cars.

What do you do at times like that? Well, most of us treat it like it's normal. Are you kidding me?!! We know better than that! When nothing is going wrong, that's absolutely abnormal, strange, even ridiculous.

I remember what Moses warned, when the Hebrews were about to enter the "promised land." In Deuteronomy 8:12-17, he warned that in prosperous times, they would be inclined to think their own abilities had brought them all the good they were experiencing. "Do not say to yourself, "My power and the might of my own hand have gotten me this wealth." But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, so that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestors, as he is doing today."

Each and every day, we have much to thank God for. We are a very blessed people. It seems obvious that, when life is going well, we should praise God more.

Don't forget! Help me not to forget, either.
