Precious

I hope you realise that you are one of a kind and you have a very special place here on God's beautiful earth. I lnow that there are sorrows and struggles . I know that the darkness of evil exists yet I am persuaded there is light and love and joy and strength. Where there is despair there is also hope. I am so grateful for my family and friends that God has blessed me with but even in the times I feel alone if I only pause to reflect on the goodness of God and the many times he has been faithful that is when faith takes over where feelings fail me. I have friends going through many things from sickness to loss of loved ones. There is so much going on in the world as well. Wars and hunger and broken hearts. I feel like my problems are much too small to mention but do you know God cares about the little things too? It builds our faith and our relationship with God to talk to him about anything. Life is full of small miracles and we often do not take notice but God notices us as busy as He is! His thoughts towards us are precious!

This song has been in my mind for weeks, over a month actually. I have it on my profile page. It is the song of my heart these days. I wake up and it is there. I have bren singing it. Sunday morning we had a guest minister and he played and sang it. It was awesome really because it was the first time I heard it at my church. I had gotten away from singing it last week but the Lord brought it back.

I am going through a time of adjustment. It sounds funny perhaps but I didn't realize I had much of a routine until my husband retired. I would not trade this time for anything because it is precious and I love him but I'm trying to work my own personal time out. I don't have the same sort of quiet time. We used to have our coffee, talk and pray then he had to work. Sometimes I'd light a candle and just have music on for awhile. Now it is also his well deserved time and sometimes there is sports and fishing or handyman things on. I have to give and take and share. Housework is different. He blesses me and helps yet we are gone more doing and seeing things so I am trying to balance getting it all done. Monday wash is whatever and whenever. It is just little things. Nothing is wrong , I am just adjusting. Other things have been happening too and it is so sweet. He has cooked me breakfast sometimes and other meals too. I am blessed. I know that every single day is a gift from God. None of us are promised tomorrow. I pray to be a blessing to my husband and all God places in our path. We went to small group tonight and it was very good. It is about going deeper in our faith. We focused on the book of Romans tonight and also read the chapter that has the spiritual fruit in Galatians.

Sharing with others is good and opening up about struggles to learn that others may also be going through the same thing or went through it. It has been good to break bread together and talk, laugh and pray and read the Bible together. We do have fun together and leave feeling more at peace. Remember you are beloved. God's precious jewel.

You are loved, you are precious and your life is worthwhile. Your uniqueness is a gift from God. Someone is praying for you!
