Cabin fever and counting blessings...

It's happening already.  I have a case of "cabin fever."  That may sound a bit contradictory for someone who is a self-admitted home body.  Yet there's a difference in being very content at home...yet needing to get out to shop for a change of scenery.  :) 

However, I understand that with subzero temperatures plus windchills, it is wise to remain indoors to guard my lungs and health.  Instead of seeing our home as a place I must stay in, I cling to the truth that it is a place I am privileged to reside in to protect my physical well-being. 

That reminds me of how important it is to stay close to God on this journey of life.  Living in this world requires us to experience twists, turns, bumps and burdens along the way.  But what an incredible blessing to realize that no matter what happens, we have Someone we can go to Who loves us, holds us, heals us and listens to us anytime, anywhere.   He is my Refuge...the reason I continue to walk this journey even when my heart is broken, my feet are bruised or I am simply weary to the bone.  He is my strength...my hope...my purpose and my guide. 

When uncertainty or uncomfortable situations cloud my view, I will continue holding onto Him.  His loving arms are a place I will never grow tired of and never wish to leave.♥~thl

"But as for me, it is good to be near God.  I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge:  I will tell of all Your deeds."  Psalm 73: 28
