TODAY

Today is a gift to unwrap.

School begins in a few minutes.

Lesson plans complete.

Grocery list ready.

I'm listening to Curious George and sweet giggles!

I just finished a delicious and creamy cup of coffee!!!

Load of laundry washing, another drying.

Hubby kissed and out the door.

Sun shining through the window.

Promises to be a blessed day.

ENJOY!!

Thankful...

Today
was
long,
busy,
yet
wonderful!
I have an overwhelming sense of gratitude.

I am sitting in a comfy chair in front of a computer in a house filled with the people I love the most.


I am confident that in the morning I will awake to the smell of coffee and I have no fear that there will be food available to feed my family.

Tomorrow we will have the opportunity to go anywhere we please and do pretty much anything we want.

Yet there are times I yearn for more.
What more do I need?


God has already given me everything.

LIFE in HIM is all I need.

If all the things and people I value and love the most were gone tomorrow,

would I still love God?

God would still be God.

He would still be

GREAT

and

MIGHTY!

Even if...
I had no home,
no family,
no food.

Even if I had
NOTHING.


I would still have eternal hope.
God would still be Good!

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.


2 Corinthians 4:7

Yet Another...

Beautiful sunset!

Seeing my 2 year old sitting in this rocking chair makes me smile.

It was mine when I was her age.

That my friends was __ years ago. I am amazed that I am that old!

SUNSET

"For me sunsets are God’s orchestration that visually affirms His presence and direction in my life: a magnificent symphony that can never be paralleled or equaled to what has occupied my attention during the day."

Steve Kinsey

I never stop being in awe of God's creation and His great love for us.


My life is rich and full of many blessings. But we ALL have experienced trouble and pain.
I don't know why I'm surprised when these storms come.
God said we would have trouble in this life.

"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."
John 16:33

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you
Ephesians 6:18

Hold to God's unchanging hand. Circumstances will ALWAYS change.

GOD

NEVER

WILL!
