Day 121 - It's a Wonderful Life!

___________________

Yes, It's a Wonderful Life now! Praise God!

My husband and I are still kneeling and praying, studying our scripture and reading our book on how to strengthen our marriage.

Our children are healthy and happy, our house is warm, we have food in our refrigerator and cupboards. We have steady jobs with steady (and good) incomes. We have friends and family who rejoice with us during our own rejoicing seasons...

But most of all, It's a Wonderful Life because we have Christ as the center of our home.

Thank you, Jesus! Somebody...pinch me! Is this for real? Has our marriage, our home life, changed so dramatically that we can all say, "We are truly happy!"

God has done this.

I had a rough childhood. Growing up with an alcoholic father was extremely tough. Growing up with such turmoil in my childhood doesn't set a great foundation, for sure.

Thank God my mother...despite her own emotional turmoil during my childhood...instilled in us God's love and salvation.

And then to jump into such a marriage at the tender age of 22 was no less difficult.

And to now have P-E-A-C-E in all things...it's truly miraculous. I am sooooooo thankful to be here at last. It was a long road to travel, for sure. And now, I am at peace in all things.

Father, I pray for your continued peace and comfort in my life. I pray that I will not become complacent, however, and I pray that I will long for you in all areas of my life, and that You will guide me down the path that You have chosen for me.

May my life be dedicated to You and Your calling for me and my family. Amen.

"For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment." Luke 1:37
