God Gives Perspective

It is so very easy to get lost in your own stuff. I had been doing that of late.

Two Grown children with major life issues confronting them. Teenage children each with their seperate issues.Two little children, again, with their issues. Not one, but two sets of aging parents and yup, their issues! Extended family with issues, does the list never end?

Well, no it does not and neither do the issues end. They just become a part of who we are and how we get through each day.

I have been watching and praying for a young family who has more then their share of issues. What a testiment to their God and their Faith they have been. The transparency and grace with which they move from issue to issue has been such an encouragment to me. And can I just say? My issues? Can't touch the things life is throwing at them right now.

Makes me wonder how I would respond? Would I be able to let go and let God have His way? Would I be able to say all of Him and None of me. Would my God recieve Glory in my responses to life's issues? I only pray He would. He is so deserving of all I have.

Just pondering and praying and trying to please my God. Lord, help me.

Giving up again!

Updating a blog on a regular basis is obviously NOT one of my skills sooooo perhaps I will get back to it but for now? Not so much.
