What Do You Do When the World's at War
What do you do when the world's at war?
Before we went to bed last night, the headlines read, "Many of Iran's missiles have been eliminated." It is day 14 and war is costly in so many ways. After decades of hostility, could the US and Iranian war be nearing its end.
As I pour my coffee to greet the new day, I am once again reminded of the many blessings that I have.
Why do I take so much life for granted when it is a gift.
A gift that the sun rose and this morning I opened my eyes to experience another day.
The very breath filling my lungs-is a gift.
"Nothing's as wildly dangerous as entitlement, when everything's a gift to be wildly thankful for." (Ann Voskamp)
"Nothing's as wildly dangerous as entitlement, when everything's a gift to be wildly thankful for."
Our health's not a given, freedoms not a given, family's not a given, but everything is a gift.
As I close my Bible to begin the day, I ponder Proverbs 4:20-22 "My child pay attention to my words. Don't lose sight of them let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body."
And Hebrews 2:1 (NlT) "Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it."
Pay Attention.
Pay Attention.
Pay Attention: to the light around you.
Pay Attention: to the faces who you love.
Pay Attention: to the laughter of your little ones.
Pay Attention: to the beautiful around you.
Soak it in, see the good.
Pay attention, for what you attend to tends to become your life. (Ann Voskamp)
Until next time, Pam
