Scripture: Psalm 23:1
As we go through this crazy time of the year, we need to take a moment and stop and look around us and realize what is right in front of us, Gods grace. If your family is anything like ours, then you know what I am talking about. It seems like we are running in circles each and everyday just trying to get things done, and after the day is gone you look back and try to figure out what you did the day before. It seems sometimes that we are so needy and want things right now that we need to step back and take a look around us and thank God for just being able to get out to do all of these things. Good grief. You know what I’m talking about! With us its not only trying to get the college applications done or trying to find the right scholarship or youth or basketball or practice or cheerleading or just everyday activities, oh yeah, and family life, its all in one. We need to just take a step back and not only catch our breath but look around us and realize that its all going to be ok because God is in control. Take time out of this busy time and sit down, not necessarily at the table, maybe on the floor in the living room and tell one another that you love them and how thankful you are for the family that surrounds you.
Prayer:
God, Bless our family, let us be reminded of how thankful we should be for your many blessings. Show us that we need to slow down and take time for one another. Everything else will work out…we know this because its all in your hands. Amen
