I spent my day Saturday smiling as I cleaned my house and hung pictures. Giddy on the inside and continually thanking God for his blessing on my life. I feel almost euphoric when it comes to the state of content I am in. I wake up each morning thanking God for my husband, son, friends, family, job, home, bible study group and volunteer work that has changed my life. It's difficult at times to get out of the self-serving mode that we are constantly being pulled into. Society and human nature have made us selfish seekers of complete independence. In learning to depend more on God and less on myself and my husband, I am finding true fulfillment. We have aspects of our lives where we are tested, not by God, but frustrating issues that we have to choose how to deal with. We have to consciously choose to give each thing to God each day and relish in our lives. The blessings we have are abundant. No amount of money or material item can ever fill the pieces of our hearts that are filled by God and love. The real gift is no matter what is going on in our lives, no matter how frustrating or diificult it may be, it's quite easy to look beyond it to bigger and better things. "O LORD God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O LORD, and your faithfulness surrounds you." Psalm 89:8
