Today is the day that Lord has made- I will rejoice and be glad in it. Today is the day! This is one of those things we shouldn't put off until tomorrow. We or I should I say should rejoice today because today is a gift from God.
It seems so simple to say and so difficult to put into play... the last month I have been bogged down with the weight of our stresses. Jason losing his job, starting school, being in a wreck, jobs, kids, and all that goes with it. But lately I have really been feeling like God is saying "Gina- today is a gift. use it for good. " So I have been trying.
There seems to be so many people I know right now hurting. I have been standing beside the hospital bed of a 6mth old baby the last few days. It doesn't appear he is going to make it. Life is put into perspective during those moments. I held his little hand yesterday and was struck with the fact that I am truely blessed. Blessed beyond anything I could ever ask for our deserve.
A friend of mine recently made the comment about an answer to prayer in her life"it is just undeserved grace" I like that. So many blessings have come my way through undeserved grace. Of course when you think about it all grace is undeserved.
It is almost Easter time and this is the time we will think about our Lord and what he did for us. I am overwhelmed with his sacrifice for us. My prayer is that I will go into the Easter season with open eyes- to see something or hear something with a new perspective. That it just won't be another Easter but it will be a life changing Easter. I am so excited to see God move in me and around me.
So, tonight I leave you with this. My prayer for all of you is this- that my Jesus will be your Jesus, that the undeserved grace I experience everyday will be your experience. That you will be surrounded with the peace of Christ, and that His mercy will be like rain falling down on you. Have a great rest of the week!
