Thankful thought of the day - I actually have two thankful thoughts for today. I did not post one yesterday since I did my memorial to Marshall. So I'll post both today. Yesterday, I was thankful for Sundays; thankful that God provided us with a day to rest and relax and that He even instructed us to do that. Today, I am thankful for peace.
As many of you know, my favorite bible verse is Psalm 46:10 - Be still and know that I am God....
When I saw this quote above, it just strengthened my belief in the importance of this verse. He is our calm in the midst of a storm. He whispers sweet peace to my soul. When things go wrong around us and we feel those little "panic attacks" rising within, if we will just let Him take control, things will be much more peaceful.
There are times in my life where I start getting rattled and let the little things build up to the point where I just feel frazzled. It's at those times, when I take a deep breath, close my eyes, look toward the Father and gently whisper "Help." It is at those times, in the midst of the storms when I most feel His hand guiding me and His arms protecting me as He guides me to shore. He doesn't always make the storms disappear, but He always allows me to find peace in them until things look up. The McKamey's sing a song that says it all......Sometimes He calms the storms and sometimes He calms me.
May you all have a peaceful Monday.
