Who's #1?

Lately, I have been pondering life, the galaxies, rainbows, and ice cream. 
No, not really.
But, I have been pondering my problem.
The problem with my heart and why I feel depressed some days, out of control at times, impatient, yell at my kids, force smiles, hate cooking supper most days......the problem, I have concluded, is that I am being a selfish brat.
I have an unthankful spirit lately and it has opened my heart up to some stinky attitudes.  An unthankful heart opens up a spot for Satan to come in, plop down, eat a bag of chips, and take a nap.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-17
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

Proverbs 23:7
"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he."

Have you had the same problem as me lately? 
Do you look at your daily work and sigh?
Do you snap at your children when they ask you a question?

Today, I wanted to cry.
Ellianna burned herself on my curling iron.  I asked her if she was burned because I saw her jerk back.  She said no and forced a smile.  I again questioned her and asked her if I could see.  She told me she was not burned and left the room.
Later, at lunch I noticed her arm while she was eating.  It was red and had blisters from the burn.  I asked her why she lied to me and didn't let me see that she was burned?  She started to cry and said  she didn't want me to get mad at her.
Heart breaking.
My daughter doesn't trust me with her pain.
How did I become untrustworthy?
As I reflect, I see snippets of days, moments where I have broken her heart with my quick answers, angry looks, and impatience. 
Today, I am going to change that.
I am going to start being thankful in everything. 
I am going to start rejoicing and making sure my heart is in it's proper place.
I am going to shift focus from me to my Savior.
