Sunday thoughts.

Today I am thinking about all kinds of things, mind racing from one subject to another.  Anxiety building, but I need to stop and remember…

No matter the wants in my life, I have all my needs….God is good!

No matter if I am tired or run down, I have energy enough to keep going…God is good!

No matter the cares of the world that I cannot control, He is in control….God is good!

No matter that I miss loved ones, they are in His loving arms and there is no better place…God is good!

I’m so blessed every day.  I have learned the healing power of gratitude. Entitlement brings sorrow.  Gratitude brings true peace.

I have now been around long enough to have seen God’s goodness. Yes, pain still exists.  Trauma is commonplace.  That’s man, not God.  Things have happened to me and by my own hands…that’s man, not God.

God has intervened, set me on a right course even if I was kicking and screaming. My prayer today is for those who cannot, will not, absolutely refuse the presence of God to feel His peaceful presence. He can tame the storms in our lives. His blessings are worth more than gold and silver.

Life with Him is not an easy one, but it is so amazing.  His mercy, grace and peace know no bounds. Today I chose gratitude and that choice changes all things.
