Feeling Blessed

Today I am thanking God for all the wonderful things that he has provided for my family. We are all in reasonably good health, we have food in the cupboards, and He has provided a full-time job for my husband for many years now. Although I am not able to work due to physical disabilities, I believe that God has placed me at home to be here for my children as they grow up, and to share His love with all those that I come into contact with. Many people believe it is a fault that I just plain love people, but I look at it as a blessing from God. I see the potential in everybody that God has created, and if God can love me, as imperfect as I am, why shouldn't I also love others with imperfections?

My family is moving to a new home in a little over a week, and we are all packed up and ready to go. The only problem is that we don't have the money to move yet, because we are still trying to sell the home that we are currently in. Rather than stressing this ordeal, I am choosing to trust God to send what we need, at the perfect time, which is what He does best. I know that our move will go smoothly, and that the sale of our current house will be for the amount that we need to make this move. God has NEVER let me down, and I know he will provide for us now.

We recently went through some trials with extended family, and thanks to God, I am finally at peace with the situation and I feel like I can move on and continue loving these people just like God would want me to. I won't deny that I struggle sometimes with bitterness, especially when people are causing problems for my immediate family, and I tend to let the worldly part of me take over and control my actions. Nobody is without sin, and once I realize that I am not handling it the way God would want me to, I pray about it and immediately feel His love and peace come over me.

Thank you Lord for all that you do for us. My life is not the same without Him. I am blessed.

Have a great day and know that God loves you too and is there at all times to walk you through whatever trials you are dealing with. Give it to God.
