Fall is in the air! The cool, crisp breeze is invigorating! I love it!!! Even when your get up and go has gotten up and went... I can only thank God for this day and the beauty that it holds. As I sit here now, a bird just perched on a limb out of my window, and every thing seems greener, more alive..though it is fall and an end for some foliage. The cold air stiffens me, but inspires me to get up and go and push through the pain. To reach my potential for the day and pray it can be productive. You see, I have struggled sitting and actually doing many things the past two years, yet God has a remarkable way of getting you through the tough times...time and time again. I am only left with gratitude and joyful anticipation for the great things to come...not pity or depression for the limitations I have had to face...but the blessings, the good, true, beautiful, the lessons learned, the surrender, and cherishing life! The acceptance of that which I can not change, striving to change the things I can, and praying for the Divine wisdom to know what I can do, the courage to press on, and strength of God to carry me through. He does!!! He is faithful though we are not...He is there even when we choose not to acknowledge Him. He loves us and He formed us in His image and likeness. He came so we might have life and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) I know how hard that can seem in the midst of trials...bankruptcy, health issues, family dynamics, life. But, can testify to His greatness, mercy, love, and His Power He imparts to us all. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world!... Emerson says perfectly, "what lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Christ dwells within us all and His love is a driving force gently guiding us until we can turn over the wheel and let Him take over .the journey to lasting peace and joy!!! Freedom! Enjoy your day!
Abundant blessings to you,
Janine
