As I sit here watching yet more sleet and ice come cascading form the sky, I have to smile. It's another day to delight my self in the Lord!! At a leisurely pace no less; with activities cancelled, I get to have a quiet day of restful contemplation.
I go over in my mind the past few years of this journey, and I stand amazed at the mercy and grace God has poured out over my life.
In truth from an earthly standpoint I have never been hit by so much Real life drama, from Financial disaster, to the Death of my baby boy, to heart attacks and bypass surgery.
To the outward appearance these past 5 years have been everything but blessed.
From where I stand now!!!???!!?
It was an arduous journey, but the destination, ROCKS!!!
What I now know of God and His love and compassion, I would not know from any other path.
What I now know of me and all Abba, has put into making me, who I am today, I would not trade for any thing. not even for one more day here on Earth with Jonathon. I will see him when I step into Eternity, and this time will be as nothing.
What I have today is a new appreciation for the moments I get to spend here sowing into other's lives, and being a friend.
I now have no fear of letting go of those who add nothing positive or only wish to take and never plant good seed.
Alone is not always a bad thing, because lonely can happen in a crowd, alone is a choice, time to meditate on all that Abba has taught me and is presently teaching me.
True friends are precious. Loved ones even more precious. though oft times these are interchangable.
Laughter is the best seasoning I can think of for life.
and the more I think on the Goodness of the Lord, the more Goodness I remember, till I'm over flowing!!
So today I share my over flow with you and pray that this day can be for you a day of remembered blessings, real time blessings and blessings to look forward to.
