Today was a great day! I hit the floor with the praises of God on my lips, even before I hit the coffee pot. My day went so much better than when I go into my day without so much as a Good Morning God. I know I need to seek His face early in my day and that can make the difference between a great day and a day filled with hopelessness and despair. I need God to survive this journey called grief. I cannot make it on my own and frankly without the help of my Heavenly Father I know I would never make it thru my days. My sadness comes from nowhere and I know He has placed friends in my path to aid me in my times of sadness and despair. Please know when I speak of friends, I am also speaking of family. I have been blessed with a wonderful network of family and friends. And God always, always lets one of them know when I need to smile or need a phone call or a prayer going up for me. Some would call it coincidence but I don’t believe in that. Everything that happens is not by coincidence. God puts it on peoples hearts to pray, to reach out to others and He knows when you are in need. Today I had a wonderful circle of friends pray with me and let me know they cared and were there for me. I needed that today. God was big in my life today. Thank you God for caring about me and being there for me in every situation.
