Posted in Single Moms as Keepers at Home

I was planning on no longer sharing real personal stuff here - but for those of you who are single mom's I think that this may encourage you. I'm not sure what prompted this thought process -- and at the same time, I do know. I have found I can't watch those movies that have the happily ever after love story themes. I grow discontent in the life the Lord has blessed me with. I recently was able to purchase the complete Christy series -- one of my favorites. I spent my vacation working my way through watching every episode. I started feeling that restless discontentment growing, wondering why I have to do this alone. These words are the thoughts I had after praying and repenting of my ungrateful attitude. The Lord has so blessed my situation, that I have no room to be ungrateful. He chose me. Not because of who I am. He loves me in spite of that, because of who He is. He is a husband to me and a father to my children. I am His princess, daughter of the King. He knows my every weakness, my every betrayal, my every short coming, my every failure and still He loves me, anyway. It is what I always desired, what I sought desperately, in places it could never be found, never realizing I had it all along, the love of the Master. He is my rock, I can lean on. He protects me and shelters me, He listens. He comforts my sorrows. He provides for me. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He desired His very best for me. What right have I to want more than this? I pray the Lord will bless you through these thoughts. MaggieRaye |
