It's not what you expected.

Verse of the Day: Matthew 6:34a "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself"

Life is never what one expects. It is not a constant and it is filled with crazy and winding turns. We are not guaranteed anything in life and we are not even guaranteed tomorrow. There is only One certain and only One unchanging...and that is Jesus Christ.

I often get caught up in life and worry and stress over unimportant things. What are we missing out on by getting uptight. Did we miss out on fellow shipping with friends because the house was not vacuumed and picked up? Did we miss out on reading our kid's favorite book because our TV show is on? Did we miss that good bye kiss because they didn't make the coffee right? Are we missing out on eternal blessings because we are caught up in our little lives?

I just started thinking about life after Jerry had an accident in his pants for the thousandth time today and I got upset at him. (Don't worry, I didn't rub his nose in it). Why get mad? Because I was too busy to clean up potty (again and again). Shame on me for not asking him if he needed to go and shame on me for getting mad at him for acting as toddler who is getting potty trained acts. Our life with family and friends is precious but our relationship and what we do for Jesus Christ surpasses it all. In everything we do and say should bring honor and glory to Jesus Christ.

Thank you Lord that I have my children to make messes around the house.
