Thankful for what is to come. Trusting that God’s plans are merciful and filled with His grace. Better to focus on the Planner than the plan.
“Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now.”
-A.W. Tozer
“For those who praise God and say “God is good,” or, ‘I’m so blessed,” when you get what YOU want, try praising Him and saying, “God is good,” and “I’m so blessed,” when you’re suffering. To do the first is effortless. The masses do it, that’s how easy it is. To do the latter requires something greater: strength, faith and gratitude – no matter the ouch involved.”
-D.L. Hope

Amen, amiga. I have been thinking of using a hash tag (that always makes me think of breakfast and hash browns … any wonder I sent a shrink to a shrink?) ANYWAY, #Affirm. Because it’s easy to praise when the going is good, but when the road gets bumpy, then it’s “why me?” And it is during those bumps we need most to affirm, have faith, give thanks. Sending you hugs.
Believing that God won’t give me anything more than I can handle…is truly a blessing…even though it can be very challenging. Thank you, Connie, for awakening me once again to God’s ever present goodness.
