Every week, every day, every moment has it's opportunities, the good works that God has prepared for that time and place. I've been hanging out in Psalms lately and have been impressed again with how often we are told to praise God, remember His works, and speak of what He has done. It's reminded me to look out for what God is doing, to pay attention to the opportunities, to thank Him for His work. And it's good medicine for my soul!
The past couple of weeks have been busy in a very fragmented way. When the days are invested in a multitude of things, it's sometimes hard to see progress. But when we consciously ask God what He is doing and the ability to perceive His work, things change. We begin to see. We enjoy. We appreciate. We praise Him.
Here are a few of the things I am thankful for right now:
- It is amazing to be a part of mission aviation worldwide: we are investing in the next generation, and the people Garry is working with are thankful for the input He gives
- Change in both Kevin and Kaleb as they grow and learn
- Great times with family and friends are a gift from God: left to themselves, relationships easily deteriorate to a source of pain instead of joy
- God gives wisdom as we ask Him for it, whether we need it in the large scope of ministry or the small things of plans for today
- Health is truly a gift, from a day of feeling energetic to simply being able to walk
- I've met a number of ladies recently who are passionate about God or just getting to know Him, and that is energizing
- We are members of God's Body, and that is incredible
May you be blessed today by the blessings in your life, may we each have eyes to see what God is doing and both where He wants us to be involved and what is not ours to do.
