Random anyone???

Hello Everyone,

Today has run the full lap of experiences. I had joy playing and hugging with my grandson. I got to give my granddaughter some grandma tummy time, which for her is like a fluffy pillow. I think I got the fluffy belly down REAL good. I got to see my favorite daughter in law. I had an opportunity to encourage someone I love deeply to remind her that she's worth taking a stand for. I had an unexpected anonymous gift in the mail. I'm hoping that whoever sent the gift reads this and knows how much my day was blessed both by the gift and the message that came with it. You know who you are and I pray for blessings upon blessings for you. There has also been some physical pain and discomfort which keeps me humble.

I really do live a good life. I wish I appreciated it more. Sometimes, I have these moments of such clarity and it reminds me that this life is not my forever home. In a way, I'm kind of like one of the millions of children who are in foster homes and group homes waiting for their forever family. The trials and tribulations they endure during the journey, makes the destination that much sweeter. As an adopted child of God, I'm anxious sometimes for my forever home and family. But then, things like today happen and I'm reminded once again that we (the church) are His arms, His legs, His heart, His instruments to assist others when the opportunity is made known to us. My prayer is that I keep my ears open and my mouth shut so I may know what my Lord would have me do in any given time or place.

Therein lies the problem; keeping silent so I may hear what plans there are for me. I'm reminded A LOT that I need to stay in today and not worry about tomorrow. There are so many daily reminders that even though I have not reached my final destination, I know the Pilot personally and He is by far the best there is. He loves me. He loves you too. This evening I'd like to leave you with one of my favorite verses from the book of Psalms 46:10 which states "Be still, and know that I am God." Until next time, Be Wise, Be Kind, Be True, Love, Patty
