I am blessed. Blessed with one absolutely wonderful husband who I adore and three precious and very active sons. God has given me so many blessings in my life I am often overwhelmed (not in the same way the three very active sons sometimes make me feel). Thank you, Father, for the good gifts you have given. I need to remind myself often to hold to these gifts loosely and to cling to Christ. It is too easy for me to put my hope in these earthly riches of my family. I must not hope in them, I will always be disappointed. Christ is my hope and Him alone.
"O LORD, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a child quieted at its mother's breast; like a child that is quieted is my soul. O Israel, hope in the LORD this time forth and for evermore." Psalm 131:1-3
