Our God brings beauty in all things.
I don't meditate on this truth enough and tend to get caught up in the moment whether it be sinus surgery pain or headaches or (insert whinny discomfort here).
As our pastor says frequently, "In Christ we got it going on!"
Its sad when one person cuts us off or one electronic device doesn't work properly that our demeanor turns sour and we are anything but thankful.
God help me, keep me from this attitude and missing the mark.
God help me to see the beauty in the seasons of change coming.
God help me to see the providence and purpose in these frustrating setbacks in my day.
The future for us is truly bright as children of God and in the here and now we have the Holy Spirit, the guarantee of our inheritance.
In the here and now we get the opportunity to enjoy the things of this world that God has given us (not sin or sinful activity).
For example: I love summer. Summer is my favorite season. The sun and the heat, the poolside laughter, road trips, water skiing, youth camps, sunshades and throwing a Frisbee.
Oh so much to be thankful for, right here, right now.
My health, my friends, my brain, my gifts and my opportunities to live, breath - love and preach Jesus.
Thank You God
Grow in me this heart of thankfulness.
