Have you ever felt as if time was just whizzing by you?
One day - you might feel as if you are in total control. You know where you are going and feel fairly confident of what the plan of your day, week and next few years hold for you.
Then something or someone comes in and just sweeps the rug from under you...and guess what? You are there on your bottom, rubbing your sore behind..thinking. What just happened...? :) Where did the time go? I thought my life was going fine and it was all planned out, but how did I end up here?
Okay, well maybe that is a little dramatic. (But then again maybe not! :))
What i'm reflecting on today is that life is so short. Sometimes it doesn't seem like it, because once Monday work morning rolls around, we end up wishing our lives away thinking "awww..why can't it be Friday already?"
Well, why don't we try something new today and be thankful.
Thankful that we are alive today...that we are breathing, that we have homes and cozy beds. Thankful that we have families who love us and friends who would get up in the middle of the night if we needed them.
Thankful that we have a God who loves us unconditionally no matter where we've gone or what we've done. That even when we aren't the nicest people, or we judge others, or just are plain mean or grumpy...that even through all of that we have hope because we have a God who loves us unconditionally and will forgive us if we bite down on our pride and ask for forgiveness.
It's a day to be grateful. Even if you don't believe in God - there is something wonderful about the creations around us and that we are alive and wonderful. That if you look at a baby or into a child's eyes that you know that there is something just so majestic in those little fingers.
So even if you feel as if you've lost your way...in a big way or even in a little way. There is hope. Jesus just wants me to write this because you need to hear it.
There is hope. No matter what situation you are going through. He always does good for those who love Him and He will never let you go. You have a purpose and you are needed. Don't let go.
Be thankful...because I am thankful that you are here. That you are reading this post by some chance and thankful that you are you. and you were created so wonderfully and that you are loved.
Much love always..
