Thought of the Day
We must remember that the lives we live are not just ours, they are God's. When things happen that our not in our plans and we get so frustrated and think "it wasn't supposed to happen this way", Let us remember, that is WAS supposed to happen this way. Maybe not in our plans, but in God's plans. And let's face it, his plans trump ours any day! :) And I'm ok with that because He knows what He's doing a lot better than I do!So when things seem to be going all off plan, remember that they are not your plans, they're God's. Have faith in where He's taking you. You may not see it now, but one day you will and you'll be thankful for it.
Think of all the times things didn't go as planned, but if it wasn't for that other things may not have come to you. For example, the high school love that broke your heart would have kept you from the marriage you have today or the children you have today. The doctors telling you that you were unable to have children, opened your eyes for an adoption that saved the life of a child who didn't get a choice. The extra diaper change before you left for work, making you 30 seconds late for work...and a car accident that happened just before you got there.
Take a minute toda yand count your blessings, because if it wasn't for things not going as planned, you may not have them.
Prayer of the Day
Dear Lord, thank you for taking over my life and giving me those unanswered prayers. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't hav e the many blessings you have put before me. I'm sorry it takes so long for me to see it sometimes, but I do want you to know I am thankful for all you do in my life. Please continue to turn goodness out of my misfortunes or deviations from plan. Your plan is much better than mine, Lord, and I accept it as my own. Thank you for being a faithful and merciful, Lord. In your beautiful and gracious name I pray. Amen.
