Perspective

“LORD, God of Israel, there is no other god like you in heaven or on the earth. You keep the agreement that you made with your people. You are kind and loyal to those who follow you with all their heart. 1 Kings 8:23

Sorry for the missing post yesterday. We had car trouble again...seems like every time life is "in order" another hit comes our way.

Talking to hubby last night I was quite upset about our situation and the financial burden that was being placed on us. I asked him "why is this happening to us" and his response was "why shouldn't it happen to us?" I was caught off guard and wasn't sure how to respond. He was right. Why shouldn't bad things happen to us? Just because we're "good" people doesn't make us exempt from the bad and ugly of this world. I think it actually makes us more of a target.

I guess perspective was what I needed. I also needed to be cuddled and comforted as well. Sometimes I just need that little pity-party and then I'm good to go. I was thankful for hubby and how he reminded me that bad things are going to happen-it's life.

We prayed about it, I cried about it, and now I'm waiting on God. I know He is a healer...so maybe He'll send some healing to our car.

But the fruit that the Spirit produces in a person’s life is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these kinds of things. Galatians 5:22-23
