This is the Day

Have you ever had the thought..."I'll be a happier, less edgy person when this day is over" or "I can't wait till this stage of life is past." Admit it, we have all longed for summer in the midst of a cold winter, more sleep when we haven't had much, or something to do when we are completely bored. The grass is always greener on the other side, isn't it?

That's exactly what I was thinking the other day. I'm still adjusting to having 2 children in my care. And it's been 3 months. I guess I like to get a handle on things immediately, but this has been a challenge for me. No better way to remind me of my need for constant dependence on God. As I was in the midst of my "woe is me" thoughts, the Lord brought this verse back to my mind

"No GOOD thing will He withhold from them who walk uprightly."
Psalm 84:11
Guess it's a good theme for a blog :-) This time in my life, difficult though it may be to get a "handle" of things, is exactly what God planned for me as good right now. If I keep waiting for "better days" to serve Him with a joyful heart, I will miss the days at hand that He has given me to glorify Him in.

So though I may be stuck in the house for a few days with sick kids or both kids may be crying at once and I feel like I might go crazy, "this is the day" that God has given me to serve Him.


"This is the day that the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
