The last couple of weeks have had me thinking about my life and how marvelous our God is. Tim and I have been cleaning up the house and decluttering. In the process we found lots of old cd’s with photos from my past. The bulk majority were of my stepson. I hated to throw them out as I loved him dearly. But my life had changed and those memories no longer belonged with me. I decided to contact his mother to see if she might be interested in having them. She and I never had a good relationship which goes beyond reasons that would be obvious. (that would have to be a whole other post). Since we didn’t have ongoing contact and the last time we communicated was negative I wasn’t quite sure how she’d respond. But being a mom I had to try to give them to her. I felt like those memories of his life belonged with her for safe keeping. She was very polite in her reply and she did want the pictures. She also sent me a friend request. I contemplated accepting it for a while. I’ve never contemplated accepting any friend request before. But this one had me remembering things in my past that were painful. And that got me thinking... How great is our GOD! From all my pain and misery in my first marriage God has truly blessed me. I have a husband who has marvelous qualities. He is faithful, handsome, hard working, very intelligent, devoted to family, and he loves me with all that is in him. We have been blessed with two daughters. And there was that time in my life that was void of these three wonderful people that God has placed in my life…two of which HE has trusted me to help guide in life. Life is never perfect. But we each should choose to celebrate the day for the goodness that God has placed in our lives. I am so thankful for what God has done for me. I am so thankful that God’s plan was so much greater than the one I had in mind!
One of my favorite songs inspired the title to this post.
