when God doesn't give you what you want

First post: Six days from now I'm giving a presentation to a group of ladies titled, "when God doesn't give you what you want." It seems when a group of women get together we turn so quickly to complaining....I can't keep up, the kids don't listen, where do those extra pounds come from? I'd like to start a new trend. How awesome would it be to call up your friend and say, "praise God, my husband still has his job, the kids are healthy and energetic, and I didn't get around to exercising today because I was so busy living!" I am going to try to be an encourager. Hopefully my mood rubs off on my kids.
