Trust and Thankfulness

"At all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father." Ephesians 5:20 (AMP)

Have you noticed how thanksgiving and trust go hand in hand? This seems to be the theme in my devotions and life experiences. In both areas it's a matter of choice. I have to choose to trust even when I don't understand and I have to choose to be thankful even when I don't feel like it.  

I do not understand why I've been allowed to walk this road, I don't feel like being thankful. Today was a rough day. The quiet around my house was disconcerting. I didn't want to get out of bed. I didn't want to get dressed, and yet I chose to put one foot in front of the other. In the same manner I am choosing to trust in He who knows all, and sees all, and CARES about it all. I am choosing to look at all I've been given both today and in days past and recognize the fact that He is good.

The vastness of the ocean.

Yellow roses

Apples that we picked as a family. 

Family fun. A reminder that I am connected.

Sisterhood

Seeing my mom in the faces of my children.
