Oh, what a sight!

Verse:
Thought:
Knowing I will wake up in
the morning, I close my eyes to fall asleep. Smiling at Casey, my heart
warms because I know she loves her daddy. And bowing my head I lift
my concerns to God, because I know He hears me. Faith. Yet faith
is one of those lofty words we through around to describe a number of
different things. We use it as a description, as an object to behold or
shared, and we even use it to modify an object or description.
Hear the Good News, while
Faith is a belief in things unseen, the fruits of faith can and the presence
of Jesus Christ are experienced! I have found part of my understanding
of my experience with Jesus Christ is trusting that God is a part of my life
and further I am compelled to listen to the prompting of the Spirit as I
continue on in my journey. To me, this means I am to watch for the
beauty in everyday life, in the people I encounter and the places I visit.
God does not have an obstacle course that I must traverse through, instead my
life is a journey of graceful moments, compassionate love and growing
opportunities.
We all walk through life
with tinted lenses of life over our eyes. It is my hope the lenses you
walk with are colored with the compassion love and grace of Jesus Christ.
Prayer:
My
journey, though it may be wet, cold and dreary becomes filled with peace
through Your Son. Only You can help me to see the wonder and grace
in moments of despair. And it is
only You who can place compassion in my heart when I am surrounded by anger or
hurt. My life is a wondrous life that I thank You for each and every
day. Not only do You treat me fairly, but You treat me with a
love I could only imagine. Thank You for all You have done
in my life, and all You will continue to do, through Christ our Lord I pray.
Amen.
