God is good... All the time!

Every other week I drive my oldest two children to school. It's about a 35-40 minute drive each way. Most mornings I listen to sermons as I drive them and it amazes me at how the Lord speaks to me (and plants seeds with my kids) through the topics. The second program (sermons) I always listen to are from the church I attend every Sunday and even in hearing sermons that I've heard before, I find myself taking something new away from it the second time around!

My take away this morning is just amazement! I'm in awe! My heart is filled with joy as I reflect on my reality at the moment:

*My kids never complain about listening to sermons! They could easily whine and cry "please turn this off," as they do often with music (my 2 youngest who are autistic are very sensitive, & sometimes just opinionated, to what they do & don't like) so I praise God that I can hear his word without distraction!

*I've not felt well the past couple of days and where in the past I've felt helpless and alone in times like this, God has showered me with amazing, wonderful, kind, helpful, and loving friends! I'm reminded in these scary times of uncertainty that HE is so faithful! He's placed more people in my life over the past few months than I can count on my fingers! Literally!!

*My house is a mess, my car is becoming unreliable, there's things I need to catch up on, etc. But I smile and rest in the palm of his hands because HE provides! Whom shall I fear?!? Seriously, none of that even matters anymore and I pray for forgiveness in those times when I allow myself to get wrapped up in things of this world! Praise God, this is not my home!!

I could go on and on, but one thing remains... God is so good! All the time! 

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 NIV)

What more do I need to know then that? And when I reflect on all that he has done for me, it's proven! Time and time again, it's proven! His love never fails! Thank you Lord!!
