Sometimes my mind wanders all over the place. Sometimes I know that God is directing me in my thoughts.
This morning as I was doing dishing, I thought about how just a few years ago life was different. My husband at the time was Richard ( he passed away in Aug of 2016). We lived together with my sister and brother-in-law and my Mom. I remember cleaning the coffee pot and thinking ” why can life be so complicated and aggravating?”. Now I look back and realize I complained all the time about my life; not realizing at the time that it could change in just a moment of time.
I have caught myself doing just that again. Not satisfied with the everyday, same old, same old, things. Not considering my blessings, and where God has brought me from, to where I am today.
I have a great husband, JR. He is attentive to my needs, spoils me, and provides for me. We have a nice house, comfortable, warm, cool, dry and enough room to live in. I find myself not satisfied where ever I am and I realize it is because I am just traveling though, for this world is not my home.
I long for the presence of My Lord and God. He is here through the Holy Spirit, but I am not content with just that. I long for the next life in ways I can not put into words.
I love my family, children, grand and great grand children. I love my Mom, sisters and brothers and also my Christian family.
But I am so ready to go “HOME”.
But today, I will praise God for where I am, for His many blessings and mercies. And I will occupy this place until He calls me home.
Praise and Glory to God The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit Forever and Ever. Amen
