Daily Life~ THINGS DON'T JUST HAPPEN!!!

:confused:THINGS DON'T JUST HAPPEN!!! I know this for sure! Another beautiful Sunday Morning, I am alive and happy. I still have my Mom with me and although she can not remember yesterday, she still knows me today! (Alzheimers)

 

My beautiful Daughter is getting married soon and so we are showering her today at 1PM. It is going to be nice. Hope I don't cry! My last one out of the nest! It is hard. But I have a lot to be thankful for! Every day is a gift from God~and all things are good in it! We must position ourselves to be mindful of ALL the many blessings we have.

 

Some things we call "Accidents", "surprises" or "discoveries" are actually revelations of God's Love and constant concern for you. If you keep your faith and trust in God, the meaning of these things will become clear. If you greet each day and expect it to reveal the glory, power, and love of God, your hours will be filled with joy and awe. His mystery will turn him toward YOU!

 

I need him each and every day~to guide me and show me the right way, I may NOT always take his direction, then I veer off the right path, but always get back on it! Thank you God!

 

This life of mine is filled with many more things now than just living to eat, I eat to live and enjoy and focus on others and other interest as well. I love my band and seeing myself in photos with my children and family now! I don't ever want to be vain, but I do not feel bad looking good and feeling good about myself.

 

Be proud of how far you have come on this journey! Make the best of what is happening in your life and the things God is bringing your way. You are all intelligent, beautiful people, made in his image! Enjoy each day in your life and the things that happen in it! Embrace them, good or bad!:thumbup::blink:

    Thant was beautiful Janet...the words you wrote are very true and encouraging. We have to always thank God for the little things to appreciate the most smallest thing in life. We should definetly thank God for our struggles because if we didn't have them, we would not be where we are today. Thanks for always being positive and a inspiration to us all. Congrats to your daughter and I hope you guys have a BLESSED day!!!

    Janet,

    What you had to say was right in line with some issues I am facing in my life. I do know that God has a plan for each of our life. Sometimes, things don't always happen in the same order we would like for them to occur. However, I know every day is truly a gift and I try to focus daily on my purpose in life. It is just so in lighting to read your beautiful and encouraging words. I've always been taught that someone else is affected by our actions and behaviors either written, spoken, or gestures. Your words have truly blessed my soul today. I work at a residential living facility with people with dementia and Alzheimer’s. It is a very emotional thing for family members to experience with their love ones that slow process of who that person use to be. My prayers are with you and your family.
