Sometimes we just need to take the time to consider what we have in life. I used to think I needed to work a lot of hours to make a good salary to buy things for myself and my children. Did you get that "things". The only things we need is a place to lay our heads and rest our bodies when we are tired, food to eat when we are weak and hungry, clothing to wear to keep us warm and safe. But the main thing we need is love. Unconditional love. Love we can't lose when we mess up and make horrible mistakes or decisions. Love that gets us through all the good times and the worst times in our lives. Well let me tell you God is Love. He is the essence of Love. Love flows so freely from Him that all we have to do is catch, invite it in, cherish it, and love Him back. He just wants us to love Him and He will give us everything we need, some things we want and anything we desire that gives Him the Glory. You know everything we are and have belongs to Him. He would not want us to go without. I have found out it's only when I am trying to do things myself that I mess us. If I am doing things like He wants, they always turn out. Being selfish gets you no where. Loving and giving gets you everywhere.
I pray everyday for my kids and my family for God to watch over them and guide them through the day. I also pray for those on my prayer list (which grows daily) that God will meet their needs whatever they are for only He knows.
My church family is going through troubled times right now and the first thing they did was gather together in prayer. That's the kind of family I want to be around. Those who know where to go in times of need, who know who to give the glory to....Our Lord and Savior
