It's a love/hate relationship. I love working out. I hate missing it. I love some routines. I dread others. I love the sense of accomplishment. I get frustrated when I don't accomplish it. I love seeing results. I become discouraged when results don't appear rapidly.
Isn't life a like that? We enjoy this journey, well, some of it. We realize life is a gift. Life's responsibilities and concerns become overwhelming. We love the celebrations. Our hearts ache in between some celebrations. We appreciate our jobs. We wish we didn't have to work so much. We cherish special moments. We feel stuck in ordinary ones.
At the end of a very long, tough, frustrating day, I love to walk out on our deck and look toward the skies. I enjoy the beauty, peace and entirely different perspective. Removing my focus from all that's around me to Who is with me...changes everything. He made the stars...the moon...the skies...and so much more than we see or know. He has a greater view...a greater plan...a greater knowledge and a greater purpose. And He has promised to love me, be with me and take me to live with Him someday!
Yes, this journey is challenging. But we have His Presence, Protection and Promises. We may not enjoy each step...but we can certainly cling to Him as the path unfolds. Knowing His promises are true...makes each step toward Home so much sweeter.♥~thl
"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23: 5>6
