Thankful

The other day I was thinking about everything that has happened in my life in the past 6-7 months and the roller coaster that I've been on.  It's so easy to get caught up in the negative and the sadness and the "injustice."  It's the place that the devil wants to keep us.  Our eyes off the blessings and on the problems and trials of life. 
But even in the midst of the storm, when I stop and remember that God promises that He is with me and never leaves me and I fix my eyes on Him, all of this sudden instead of seeing lack, I see His provision and His goodness and His
unfailing love.

I'm reminded of the song that we used to sing all the time in the church I grew up in.  "Turn your eyes upon Jesus.  Look full in His wonderful face.  And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace."  WOW!  Beautiful and more importantly - TRUE! 

So here are some of the reasons that I sing for joy!  The times in life that show us His love for us.  How even in the trials, He carries us and provides for us and wraps His loving arms around us. 
I'm overwhelmed by His goodness today!  He is such a great God!

 

 

 

 

 

His plans for us are great!  No matter what happens in life, He is always on the throne and if we give Him control, our story will end the way it's supposed to. 

I'm so thankful and grateful for His love!
