Today I took Jimmy and Caleb to a really nice, peaceful park in a town nearby. As I was sitting there watching the boys throw rocks in the water, I looked up to the sky and saw the birds flying overhead. I heard the wind gently blowing through the trees and I listened and saw the water flowing over the rocks. I realized that this is it. This is what is important in life. Taking time to notice all of God's beauty around us. I felt so close to God as if he were sitting there right next to me. In fact, I know he was. Listening to the excitement in the boys voices as their rocks dropped into the water, made me want to shout out to God in praise. I am truly blessed. I may not know what is in store for my future but I do know that God is always with me.:)
But happy are those...
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
Psalm 146:5 NLT
Now that was chicken soup for the soul! :) Nadia's name means hope. And I keep hearing messages on hope every where that I go. God has used you to minister to me. Thanks for sharing that! I'm still praying for you!
