Thanking Him in All Circumstances

I am still learning to thank God in all circumstances. In the blessing as well as in the trials. Such as this last week. My parents had been blessed with a train trip to the west-coast for their anniversary, which I am very grateful for. I was so excited because it also was a break for my family to be away from my parents. Even though the week started out well it quickly went from good to bad as I got sick and my husband schedule didn't allow for me to have much down time to recover. I was so discouraged because I wanted the week to be a time of Ray and I and the kids and I just getting closer and instead we were all grousing at each other.

As I thought of the turn of events, I was so discouraged but God in His wisdom began to remind me that even in these circumstances I should be giving Him thanks and praising His Name. Thank you God that You can use any situation to give Yourself glory!

God is Good

God is good even when we don't see it. He never fails even when we do. I see how He has provided over the last month and stand in awe of these facts. First He provides money to pay the bills and then He provides food twice to put on our tables. Now I know that He will provide again to pay the bills and put food on the table.

This summer has been one of wonder and learning. Wonder in what God is capable of doing and learning that I need to constantly be in touch with Him to know His will for my life. God is definitely an awesome God. I am glad to know Him personally as my savior.

God keeps providing

This last week we were struggling to come up with enough food to feed us and my brother's four kids. God is so good. He always provides.

A friend of mine came by last Friday with enough food to take us all the way to the end of the week. God is an awesome God. He always knows our need and takes care of us.

More Blessings

God keeps providing for our needs. He provided here just this week money for my husband to get new shoes which he need really badly. He also provided for us to get the kids new shoes for PE. God is definitely providing for this here family. I love the way He keeps providing over and over again. Not that we deserve it, but because He promises to take care of His children.
