A Day to be remembered

Lately my mind has been impressed that I should remember all of the good things that God has done for me in the past.  A few days ago when I last posted, I realized that this shouldn't just be a one time event.  This being said I should say a little about the day that I have had with my wife and kids.  This morning I woke up and got dressed, just in time to be able to help make the kids breakfast and get them ready for the day.  My Sweet Heart was still in bed, and I decided to let her sleep in!  :)  Today was a goodwill day.  We went to two different Goodwill stores, each one on a different side of town.  We were looking for red tags because it was 99 cent day, and if you found a red tag you could get a discount on your purchase.  I haven't gotten a lot of school work done, but we did manage to have worship with the kids this evening :) For my devotions this morning I looked at the Crucifixion from Matthew's Gospel.  What Jesus went through for me is absolutely incredible!  He went through it for all of us, and offers us the free gift. My prayer is that we will all accept His gift, and that our lives would be transformed to be more like His.  Tonight my wife was able to clean out the car.  As I sit here typing this journal in, I am reminded about what Jesus said, about the white space of God's Mercy.  Life is not all headlines, but quiet trust in God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.  Learning to lean on Jesus is not always the easiest thing to do, but it definitely is the most important thing to do.  In case you are wondering about the sermon that I am talking about, I am including the link in this post.  Here is the link:  http://www.pmchurch.tv/article/59/archives-dvd-s/genesis-of-love.  When you get to the page go to the sermon entitled Secret of the Twinkling Stars.  Get that sermon, in whatever format you can and give it a listen.  God's promises take time to see their fulfillment.  Don't be discouraged if things aren't working out the way that you wanted to.  Remember, that He can see the big picture, that we don't always see.  He is so much stronger than we can imagine.  He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, all the gold and silver are His.  So if you find yourself worrying, give those worries to Jesus.   Let Him take care of those worries.  " Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." (Psalms 55:22).
