What Would You Have?

"I didn't want normal, until I didn't have it anymore." ~Maggie Stiefvater

What do you take for granted? Your health, your friends, your family, your life? Take the time to stop and think, what do you thank God for every single day?















With that question posed? My answer, not much. Please, don't get me wrong, I appreciate everything that I have been blessed with, but I rarely take the time to stop, think, and thank God for it all. Worries and everyday concerns consume our time and take our attention away from the things that truly matter. In life we find that the things we take most for granted are the things that we wouldn't want to live without. But if you woke up tomorrow, with only what you gave thanks for today, what would be your new normal?


Would you be a few friends lighter, a few possessions shorter, how would it impact your life?


Sometimes life gives us no choice, there are situations that fall so far beyond the realm of our control, that we can only take them out of our hands and put them into the hands of a unfathomably merciful God.


A car accident, cancer, a long term illness, these examples may sound extreme in their impact, but are mainstream in their ability to effect people from every walk of life.


So please, if you get nothing more from this post, be present in your life, be thankful for your blessings, and tell your friends and family that you love them and are grateful for their presence in your life!

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace.
