Today has been wonderful. Kayleigh still tires quickly but a couple of cat naps during the day had her going strong until 10:00 p.m.! We enjoyed being at church and having our small group over for dinner and swimming. We even snuck in a few fireworks before bed.
As I lay down after another precious day all I can do is continue to thank our Heavenly Father for his continuous provision and blessings. Our Sunday School lesson this morning was about remembering to tell God “thank you” when He answers our prayers and having an attitude of thankfulness. Too often we get wrapped up in our wants and asking God for things like He is a genie in a lamp. We forget that we were created by God because He wanted to have a relationship with us!
Think about your own relationships, no one likes those friends that only call or text when they want something. It’s even worse when those same people never say thank you! God is the same way, He wants a relationship with us. Not just have us show up to talk to Him when we want something. And, He wants us to be thankful for everything He has given us. Thankfully, God has made that relationship easy to acquire for anyone who wants it.
Revelation 3:20
“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.
Even after all these years walking with the Lord it still amazes me that He wants me. The God of the Universe cares about me so much that he sent Jesus to die for me. He loves me so much He plans each detail of my life. It is so humbling. It also supplies me with unmeasurable peace.
So, I’m going to keep asking the Lord for Kayleigh’s healing and protection for our family because the bible tells me to do that. But I am also going to be mindful to spend time with the Lord just being still and listening. And I’m going to remember to say “thank you” more often.
Matthew 7:7-11
7 “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? 10 Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! 11 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow💜
