I Thank God For My Family

I woke up this morning,

restless and stressed,

wondering why I'm being so paranoid,

feeling as if

I was about to be harmed,

forgetting for a moment

that all I need do

is rest in my sweet Jesus' arms.

Maybe it's because this past

year has been such a painful test

that it's hard to envision

peace for me.

But I thank the good Lord

for laying on my heart

to become faithful in reading His Word.

It's a wonder what can happen when you do what God requests.

Because now scripture seems to come to me

so easily. 

And quickly I remember

the peace that surpasses all understanding,

so much so

that we'll never know.

Then I force myself out of bed,

and I thank God that we've made Him the head 

of our little family -

our two cats,

our two dogs,

and my hubby and me.

Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
