Things happen. Everyday, things happen. Big things, little things, things we don't even realize are all taking place all the time. Occasionally, for some people, things happen that forever change life as we know it, and with that change there comes emotion and fret. After the anger and the crying and the searching for answers comes a kind of numbness. Once the numbness sets in, sleep comes. Upon waking there is a split second in which you forget what happened. You lie in bed, staring at the wall just like any other morning. Then it hits you... you remember. The night before comes flooding back. The moments are replayed over and over in your mind. That moment right there is pivotal. You can decide to stay in bed and mope and whine and wonder why you OR you can praise God for his love and promises, get out of bed and start your day.
I am so thankful to have a God who loves me and cares for me. I know Who holds my future. I know that people will let me down but my God is one who never changes and will NEVER let me down. God has plans for me and I want to fulfill those plans- there is no safer, more peaceful or blessed place to be than in His will.
The Bible says to give thanks in everything. So, this morning I give thanks and rejoice in my salvation. This earth and all its heartache will one day pass away but my eternal home is Heaven. I will dance on the golden streets! I will praise Him for eternity with the Heavenly hosts! I praise God for my children and the blessings they are. I thank Him for the coffee in my cup and the heater in my home. I praise Him for the friends and church family he has given me.
My joy is in the Lord. My hope is in the Lord. My life is in His hands.
God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good.
