No Complaints

Here it is Friday morning. The sun is shining (but it's not too hot.) The birds are singing (ok; they're a little annoying first thing in the morning.) I have all my senses and faculties (some work better and/or more frequently than others.) And I know I am well-loved - by God, by family, by friends. I'm blessed to have opportunities to pour and invest back into the lives of those that love me, whom I also love.



As Memorial Day approaches, I realize how little I have to complain about. Not only because of the precious facts previously mentioned. But because I live in a country where I am free to worship One True God. My opportunities here are almost limitless, thanks to those who serve this country. All politics aside, there is no where else I'd rather live. I am not outcast or tossed aside because I am a woman or a widow. God blessed me with an awesome hubby and has proven His faithfulness to continue to provide for me and meet my every need. No matter what may come, I know I am not abandoned or unacknowledged by Him. What an amazing realization to lean into and rest on! My faith is simple and I guess I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes. But when God reminds me of little things like that, I get pretty excited. Maybe I should realize and recognize all the He is to me and for me 24/7. But He has a way of surprising and reminding me. Sometimes I feel like a little kid who just found out another reason her Daddy is superman. :) Maybe that's what He meant by faith of a child.
