Soap Box

Well, it's another day in the life...or a week in the life...ha. I think these are the times when we really should appreciate just each day and whatever it holds. Some days, like today, and maybe even the previous 30 days, that no matter what surrounds us, no matter how crazy it seems, no matter how bizarre we think other people act, no matter who tries to bring us into their tangled webs of gossip, we should just briefly step back and search high and low...for one small, but significant positive moment in this day. I don't always understand what people are thinking, why they act the way they do or say the things they say......and I've realized that I don't have to understand and I don't have to live their life. It is my God-given responsibility to take care of my home, my family and my own life. It is the fruit of MY labor that I have to be accountable for. So there. That is my sermon from the soapbox. I'm very thankful for my life and for the experiences I've had. Even the ones I don't understand will prove to be for my good, because God loves me and I'm His child and He knows what is best for me. So in the midst of all the negative, the worries, the uncertainties of life, I will stand and not be afraid! God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound MIND!
