We are blessed with so much in life. In my opinion, the greatest blessing in my life is my little family. I used to be the first person to say that "parenting" didn't come with a book. I guess that is really society's way of leaving themselves room to make mistakes that they beleive should be excused. I've only come to realize something that I have been overlooking all along. Parenting does come with a book. I have had the Holy Bible in my home my entire life, and failed to realize that my parenting guide was right beneath my eyes. The lord will guide us everyday in all that we do, and all we have to do is acknowledge him,ask, and give him the praise. I wish it wouldn't have taken me so long to realize this, for I could have saved myself and my children so many heartaches in the past. Life is about forgiveness and tomorrow. I now know that I have everyting I need at my fingertips to send my children in the right direction.
Marriages struggle and fall apart daily. Some seek marriage counseling,Others walk away,some lay down and give up, and some pray. That same book is still in my home on the same table, stating all that it stated the day before, and I walk past it wondering how I am ever going to bring the spirit into my marriage and make it the best it can be. If I would have used the sources the Lord provided me long ago, I would have known that all I had to do was trust and ask the lord for guidance and he would bless my marriage in his on time.
Finances seem to spiral out of control for some. Money seems to never be there when we need it.More going out than coming in. I wonder how I am ever going to catch up on everything that needs paid. As I am worrying (instead of praying), I bend down to pick up a toy that my child left in the floor, and come to eye level with that same book.
My home has been full of treasures, guidance and blessings my whole life. . . I just chose not to acknowledge THE GUIDE and my Heavenly Father. It's strikes me as funny how we can keep searching for answers that are right under our nose the entire time.
So the next time life seems hopeless and you don't know the answer. . . . say a prayer and check the guide.
