Give thanks!

It's always easy when things seem to be going great to be thankful for the good, and when something bad happens, it's easy to ask, "why is this happening?".  Recently in our Bible study and at our church, we've been reminded that we need to thank God for not just the good, but also the bad.  He is in control of our lives and is watching over us and we need to trust in that.  There are times where things just don't seem to be going the right way, but we have to learn to just trust in what His plans are for us and know that He will help us through it.  We've definitely learned that the past couple years.  It might not be understandable at the time, but in the end we will see His plan.  That's definitely true!  And we also need to rejoice and give thanks for the wonderful things He has given us, of course.  I know he has entrusted Victor and I with so many wonderful things and we are so very grateful for that.  Without His plans for our lives we wouldn't have our two precious girls that just bring so much joy to us!    We all go through highs and lows and should be thankful for each little hiccup and peak in our lives!  I've found myself caught up in day to day life and over come with being busy and on the go, sometimes I forget to stop and think about how wonderful my life is, even the small things and that I need to be thankful for EVERYTHING. It's been on my mind to really give thanks for all we have been blessed with so thought I'd share.

The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.I will advise you and watch over you. "

~Psalms 32:8
