I Wonder Why.

There is so much going on in the world today and I wonder why.

I wonder why there is suffering.

I wonder why there is pain.

I wonder why there is anger.

I wonder why we are fighting.

I wonder why there is so much pride.

I wonder why there is entitlement.

I wonder why there is sadness.

I wonder why there is hate.

I wonder why there is fear.

I wonder why there is violence when there should be love.

I wonder why we can't feel safe every time we leave the comfort of our home.

I wonder why parents have to fear to send their kids off to school when school should be a safe place. 

Where is love?

Where is kindness?

Where is compassion for others?

Where is safety and security?

I am only one person I know I don't have all the answers. I remember when I use to think change started with us and there is still a lot of truth to that but now I also realize we have to turn our hearts to God in prayer. When we trust God only then will we feel peace on earth. All I know is to give our life to God. I believe He will take care of us.

God bless you all for reading my thoughts today.

The Gift Giver of a beautiful Life.

In all the hurry to understand the meaning of what life is all about, sometimes we forget to celebrate the fact God gave us the gift to be alive and well at all at this very moment. The more we know God, the more we have to celebrate every joy God can or will bring to our life and all the greatness God wants us to share with others who are in our life.

God is the source of everything in front of us in life and we need to celebrate the fact God has taken such an interest in us and all that was created for us to enjoy. I pray the good things always outweigh the bad in life with God's strength and guidance to fulfill His will and purpose for each of His precious children.

I celebrate each moment of life. I celebrate the people I have met along the way who help me to become more than I would ever be without them. I celebrate the grace God gives us every single precious day. Thank you God for the gift we have to share all the ups and downs of life with family and friends today. I am forever grateful for God's unfailing love.

Ya know, I have learned so much in my life, one of the things I have learned is that sometimes it's a good thing to share your heart with others. It's good to open yourself up and just maybe encourage someone who needs a lift in their spirit.

I wanted to share a little of my heart with you all and encourage you to do the same with someone you know today. You never know who you could reach out to and encourage to keep moving forward in life.

I spent some much needed time in reflection this morning, in doing so I have realized that everything I am, everything I have become, I am because I have been loved and cared for every step of the way. I truly owe all that I have to God and everyone He has placed in my life.

Every person serves a purpose to everyone you meet and although we may not know exactly what that purpose is in the moment, I believe that without a doubt God placed you in that persons life for a reason. I do not know right now the reason you are in my life, perhaps one day God will reveal that to me but for right now, in this moment I want you to know today and every day that I thank God for your presence in my life. Your love and the encouragement each of you give me keeps me going and it is the reason I can continue to smile every day.

I have to say that when I think back on my life, I feel so incredibly thankful and blessed. God has been so good to me and I pray He has been good to each one of you too. Thank you all for being such a blessing in my life. God bless you for reading this and have a wonderful day!
