Today is just another day. I decided to finally right a blog and that's what I'm thinking...that today is just another day. An ordinary day that leaves me with a lot to be thankful for. First on my list and in my life is Jesus. He makes me want to live and to love. He fills me with hope that I can find joy in Him. My beautiful bride who is carrrying our first born! I can't believe we're gonna have our own little rugrat! My family and friends. My church and those who inspire me. Music. The place God graciously allows me to live and call my home. For my pastor and for besideus and all those who stand firm. For grace, love, and mercy! I'm sure a lot more then that too. So often we wake up and think of all the ways we have been "screwed over" in life or all we don't have and take little time to take stock of all God has blessed us with. Even if all we had in this life was a merciful, loving, and graceful relationship with Jesus, life would be more then worth living.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with THANKSGIVING, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transends all understanding, will gaurds your hearts and your mind in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7
