But Thanks for This Special Day!
You know . . . God is good . . . All the time . . . whether we classify our days as good or bad. In reality, because we can’t see the whole picture everything works “together for good to them that love God and are called according to His good pleasure.”
But today I don’t have to cling to that promise as desperatly as some times. Today I just want to praise the Lord for His marvelous acts toward me.
Remember the common favorite psalm . . . “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Well today, in a very special way God is “making me lie down in green pastures” and is” leading me beside the still waters”. He is restoring my soul.
The children are at a friends house so it is quiet her. (the still waters) I get to lie down in bed and savor some beloved sleep. (the green pastures!) TIme with the Lord restores ones soul always! ( . . . at least He does His part, He is always faithful!)
Anyway, though I feel the goodness of the Lord right now . . . I still say the same during “bad” days. God is good, though the clouds may be dark and hide the “sun”. It’s there . . . His goodness is always there! . . . But “Thank-You, Almighty God for this special day!”

Enjoyed reading your last few posts. I think of you every once in a while and pray that your pregnancy is going well and that you will have strength for the journey. I’m glad you got to go to the retreat. It sounds like you came home refreshed in spirit if not in body. I would love to hear about your cards. If they are the ones you posted pictures of earlier, I would be interested in some.

Yeah, I have about 35 different ones and those are included. I am planning to put them online sometime in the future . . . just as soon as my dear hubby finds time to help me set up a website.
Hopefully in a few weeks . . . I’ll let ya know as soon as it’s up and running.

Friends like that are such a blessing. Last night, my hubby watched Anna while I went and scrapbooked with some friends. It was a huge boost during a time of grouchiness from teething! Glad you got to go to the ladies retreat. We all need times with other women to keep us sane and let us know we’re not alone.
