Not Just for Today, But for Always

Life moves on even when we are sad, or lonely. Even when we can barely put one foot in front of the other. Life goes on even when times are terrific. Money is great, bills all paid, presents all wrapped, party all lined up and guests haven't started arriving. You know all those times when you think ahhhhhh, this time I finally got it right. Although the reality for me is that I seldom feel that I got it all right. I rarely feel all caught up either. But today, I am ok with all those things. I just want to get back to normal, whatever that is for me.

Normal by my definition is when Rob goes to work, the house needs cleaning, the kids need schooling, the sun is shining or else it is raining, but whatever, and my heart is not overly burdened with someone I love. So today is not normal, but perhaps tomorrow or next week.

So for today I will cling to what I know. God is faithful, compassionate, loving, tender and merciful to His children. God sees us as far different than we see ourselves. We are His creation, the work of His fingers. I know that all things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purposes. I know that Jesus died for me and rose again! Hallelujah! And I know that it is enough. Not just for today, but for everyday and for always.
