When it's going well

My previous entry was about worrying. And then you will notice it's been months since I made an entry. What's up?

Well I actually took my own best advice and turned my worry over to God in prayer. I even got a bunch of other folks to pray for me. And slowly things turned around, my worry lifted.

So why the drought? Why no words of encouragement and insight? Things are going well, I've got no time to sit and contemplate. Ouch, there is it again, I've strayed.

It's so easy to complain to God when things are stressful. It's even easy to forget Him entirely and not ask for help. But when the storm passes, as it always does, it's easy not to give Him thanks too. And that is precisely what I've done: forgotten to say thank you.

So this week I looked a little harder and saw the many ways I've been blessed. Quiet time with my husband. My son made dinner. A new knitting project started. The luxury of air conditioning in 90° heat. And my worry is at bay. I am so loved and cared for. You are too. Take a look what can you say thank you for today?
