Today is Thanksgiving.
I have so much to be thankful for this year.
For starters, I survived Covid. Yeah, that's right, Covid. I never wanted to talk about that stupid disease or whatever you want to call it on my blog here, but it found me, and it didn't kill me. Some nights I asked God to just let it kill me, I was in so much pain and crying in my bed...alone. But God saved me, and I'm here to celebrate another holiday with my daughter and I was invited to her dad's to celebrate there as well. We're going to head there after our dinner(we eat early).
It's been a very trying year for me.
I know, I am not the only one. I am more blessed than some in the fact I still have my job and my health and my children's health.
This year tested my patience and my faith. There were times I wondered if God really was real. I'm being transparent here people. Things would happen in my life and I would get so mad, and feel sorry for myself, but the truth is if you believe in God and you KNOW you are a child of God and you stay in His word and you are a light to others, you don't have time to feel sorry for yourself.
Because you are too filled with the light of Jesus to be miserable. No matter your circumstances, you weather through it with God's strength.
We have all had some sort of upheaval this year. I don't care how much money is in your bank account or how much isn't. Material things don't bring joy. Material things don't bring contentment. Material things don't make you feel secure when you lay your head down at night.
Only God can do that.
Truth.
So give thanks this year no matter how impossible your circumstances may seem this year. No matter how dark your situation is....look to the light....Jesus Christ.
Look up.
When the clouds are dark, and the storms are swirling and things seem hopeless...look up and see the light.
He is there.
Stay in the word and be a blessing to others and you will find, at the end of the day, that your life really isn't as bad as you think it is.
You're still alive and God isn't done with you yet.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
