I have my head continually pointed to Heaven more than ever before these days.
Life lately, has made me take personal inventory. Stop to evaluate all my blessings. Pricked my heart to appreciation at greater depths.
When, why and how did we become so dense as to measure joy in vanity among the world’s values? Does it hold relevance at all? Why do we see ourselves as the ultimate saviors when we can’t even love one another without bias?
Not here.
I breathe the sweet summer KY air deep into my lungs and am thankful I am healthy. I realize there are those who are not.
I sit in my backyard watching my son splash in his pool, and remember the days I thought this would not exist. Doctors said he would never thrive, much less, live.
I hear the laughter from my home and see the smile on each face, and identify, that yes, this is what I prayed for. A husband who loves me, a kind daughter, a smart son and a living miracle…Wow.
I am of myself unworthy.
The reward is not of my own doing.
To the One that is the creator of it all, we are valued. We are adored. He is still listening to our needs and cries. If it were not so, how could I have mentioned any of the above?
I implore you to dismiss the cynicism you may have developed toward Him. We as humans are the ones who make everything a mess….as He is there waiting for us to ask for His intervention.
There is never enough thanks I can give for all He has given me.
Take a minute today and reflect on all your life holds dear. He created it.
I hope that after doing so, you find your head pointed to the Heavens as well.
