Psalm 107:8 (NKJV) 8 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
Today was the first day we started to feel better after being very sick with a virus.
Boy, it sure does remind us how fragile we are when we get hit with something this powerful. It makes you really stop and think about how blessed we are to have a Heavenly Father who cares for us.
Thank God He is with us and helps us to get back on our feet again no matter what we face.
Earlier today I took a ride to get some fresh air. We had been indoors for quite a while.
Nothing is more enjoyable to me than the fresh ocean breeze and the warmth of the sunshine, all of which we can take advantage of if we are careful not to get too busy with our everyday routine and schedules.
Today I sat by the beautiful intracoastal waterway that’s just down the road from our home. I marveled at the power in the seas; how there is so much life going on underneath the water that we can’t see most of the time.
And then there’s all the life on top of the water; sail boats and motor boats floating by, as well as kayaking, paddle boarding, and jet skis.
It just amazes me to know we all have so much beauty at our fingertips to enjoy, even if we live in different areas of the world.
But, are we taking advantage of them? Are we enjoying the blessings of the Lord that are right in front of us, in our home towns?
I hope so. I pray that in the middle of whatever is taking up all our time we would find a nice balance and be able to enjoy these simple little things in life that bring so much joy.
Plan some time out. Make it happen for you and your family. Enjoy the goodness of the Lord and all the beauty He has blessed us with.
Amen.
