Thanksgiving break was so much fun and such a blessing to my little family~ so much to be thankful for. The level to which we are and should be thankful is almost overwhelming. Don’t ya think?
As a wife, mother and Christian I am so thankful that I can see those blessings that God allows me to see and truly I am blessed beyond measure and each day holds many blessings. But, I often wonder why, if I know that I am blessed beyond measure why do I often feel restless, or discontent?
This morning I took time from all of the “cyber deals” coming across my screen and spent some time in God’s word. As always it set me straight and reminded me that our culture is very successful at placing importance on the things that are not important. We are too focused on ourselves and the fleeting pleasures of this life rather than on God, our Father. Only He can sustain us and there for fulfill our desires which lead to the feeling of true contentedness.
I am so grateful for God’s word and how it breathes life into this soul of mine.
As I start this week, I pray I can keep that in the forefront of my mind as I continue to prepare for our Saviors Birthday and that I can also prepare the hearts of my children.
