As
I sit here in the stillness of the morning I am so grateful just to be alive –
physically and spiritually. To be able
to experience all the beauty that surrounds me.
The chorus of little birds singing their songs, a cool breeze gently
blowing in through the open windows, darkness slowing giving way to light,
puppies at my feet and my life’s companion, my soul mate sitting in the next
room. I have no need of anything because I all things in Christ.
We’ve
had some small trials while here. The AC went out, we had to do some work for
some clients while here, two of the puppies went on an adventure and we had to
go and find them. Small things but each one created some stress – but with each
one a blessing as well. The weather has
been very pleasant, so the AC is not really needed. We have clients and they have provided us
with a living. And the puppies were
found all safe and sound.
I
desire to live each day with a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving for whatever
may come my way. I’m not there yet, but
I’m confident that as a child of the living God, He will make it happen - by
turning the ashes into beauty, by making a way where there was none, and by
giving me a peace beyond understanding simply by trusting in Him.
