Noise From The Barnyard

This is where family and friends hang out and discuss world events, family happenings, valley news and things I'm "moosing" about.  It's the day to day across the fence chatter.

Thankful November Conclusion-The Scope of Things

I know it's December 2nd. The last couple of days were a bit painful from a flare-up of whatever it is that I have. The doctors are clueless but that's okay. God knows and He still heals. I've had to face the reality that I can't eat things that I've always eaten, at least for a while. But that's okay too. I can adjust. I've had to realize too that as foreign as it feels to me, I have to take time every day and do some things that take care of me so that I can be available to help take care of those I love. This is a first for me. I've always put everyone ahead of myself so having to say no sometimes to take care of me feels weird, almost sinful. But that's okay. I'll get used to it.

Thanksgiving was not what we had planned. Originally there were going to be 17 people at our gathering. By the time Thanksgiving rolled around, we were down to 8 and the location of our dinner had changed too. But it was okay. The food was yummy, the company pleasant, and we still had a lot to be thankful for.

In the grand scope of things, I have nothing to complain about. Life is life. The Bible doesn't promise us a rose garden, it just promises us that the Lord will walk through every step of our journey with us if we are completely dedicated to Him. Even if I. like Paul and Silas, were chained to the floor in a Corinthian jail expecting execution, I could still sing and worship God because what I have cannot be stolen from me by pain, suffering, family issues, busted plans, uncertainties concerning the future, or even death. I am not of this world, I'm just in it and as long as I'm here I will share my faith story with whoever will listen because God is good and nothing on this earth can change that!

Because of Him, I have hope and a bright future. When I think of eternity I realize that this life will be no more than a quick blink of an eye compared to the glory we will have with Him. We really tend to take life way too seriously.
​

Today and always, I am thankful that God has saved me from my sin and has given me a bright future. I can never praise Him enough.
