I'm 55 today. Some days life seems to be flying by and others is seems to be going at a snails pace. It's a beautiful sunny day today as I sit in front of my computer looking out the window from my desk. We are full on in fall now. The leaves are yellowing/browning on the trees and soon the trees will bare until springtime rolls around.
My birthday always falls around Thanksgiving. It reminds me of how much I have to be thankful for. Everyday I'm so thankful for the basic things in life that I have to enjoy and don't have to suffer from not having. Like running water, a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in, a kitchen to cook in, electricity to keep me warm/cool, furniture to sit on, clothes to wear, shoes for my feet, soap/shampoo to bathe with and I could go on and on with my list but you get my point by now. Being thankful everyday to God for his blessings to me is such an easy thing to do. A lot of days we get busy with our daily schedule and forget to be thankful. Just being thankful that you woke to see another day is something to be thankful for. We only have to start by being thankful for one thing in our lives and it doesn't take long before you are growing quite a list of things to be thankful for. As I grow older and watch those I love pass on I'm thankful for the time that I've had with them. We are not promised tomorrow so we need to be thankful for today and everyday that we have on this earth cherishing every moment of it.
I have two amazing men that I get to do life with, my husband, Scot, and my son, Tim. Outside of God they are my world. We enjoy every ounce of time that we get to spend together. We know how important we are to one another. And we know the gifts that God has given us in this life and we cherish them.
Having a relationship with God is the single most important thing in my life. He has saved me from so many bad decisions that could have gone way wrong and snuffed my life out at a young age. He's protected me through the years. He's taken care of me and been there in times when I didn't have anyone but Him to turn to. He's shown me what a life with Him should/can be. He's blessed me in more ways than I could have ever even thought or imagined. Life with God is the best part of doing life. Making a decision to ask him in my heart and be my savior at the age of 12 was the best decision I ever made. I've failed Him lots but He's still been here with me every step of the way. I love how all encompassing His love is for me. His love for me and for you is so incredibly great that it's no wander that I'm so in AWE of Him. I just want to share this song with you today because it's my heart:
Lyrics:
I am amazed, at Your love
I am amazed, at Your mercy
That the God of forever,
Would share it together,
With me
I am amazed
That You chose me
I am amazed
That You show me
All the love of the Father
Taking me farther
Than anything I've ever seen
I am amazed
I am amazed, at Your love
I am amazed, at Your Mercy
That the God of forever,
Would share it together,
With me
I am amazed
That You chose me
I am amazed
That You show me
All the love of the Father
Taking me farther
Than anything I've ever seen
I am amazed
I am amazed
I am amazed
All the love of the Father
Taking me farther
Than anything I've even seen
I am amazed
I am always so completely and deeply amazed at His love for me. There is no explaining the depth of that kind of love but once you have felt it there is no forgetting it ever!!! It stays with you. It goes with you everywhere you go and in all that you do. No earthly love that we have for one another can even compare to it. God's love is just Amazing! I'm in Awe of it. I'm thankful for it. It's something that I will never let go of. I carry it with me always because I know what it's like not to have that love in my life and I never wanna go back to that ever again.
There's no one that can ever touch your heart and life like God can. And we have this promise that He will never leave us or forsake us. He will always be with us. His love endures forever. He is such an Awesome God!!! I will always and forever be amazed at His love for me, His mercy towards me and that He shows me His love and takes me farther than anything I've ever seen in my faith walk with Him - I AM AMAZED!!!
