I don't know about you - but I have spent the last 39 years waiting for life to start. I've not been unhappy and I have had a relationship with my Savior Jesus from 9 years on - yet it wasn't till this week that I realized THIS IS LIFE. I look back and realize that I keep waiting for the perfect life, the perfect feeling, the perfect school day - then I'll let down and settle into God's blessings and be content. ( This must be a generational American thing).

Guess what? This is life and it is this journey that God has blessed us with and it is this journey that teaches us and molds us and draws us to Him - and I can be content with that - knowing that someday we will not need to journey anymore and will be in a perfect place with Him.

So today I will take it for what it is - we just moved, there are boxes all over the place, the kids arn't adjusting too well, and we have new puppies! God has given me today and we might just take an hour to sit on the couch and read and thank God for TODAY!
