My husband brought me roses recently…
There was no special occasion…
He just wanted to brighten my day,
Remind me that he loves me.
I’ve been dealing with some personal things lately,
needing to intentionally focus on the Lord
and not on my frustrations/problems/pain…
It’s not easy, nor a five-minute, “Ok, I’ve got it” type of thing…
It’s a constant, giving-it-over-to-God, type of thing,
an act of the will that says, “I trust in you, Lord”.
I am blessed, more than most people;
I’m always aware of that,
and I try not to take it for granted.
Even right after my mother passed away,
I kept reminding myself that I was blessed to have
such a mother for 23 years…most people don’t even have
that blessing.
You see, there’s always something to be thankful for.
I grieved, but at the same time, I knew that I had been blessed.
I don’t know why I wrote all this… I just let myself type
and stopped deleting entire sentences.
I guess I’ll hit the “publish” button and not worry too much
whether someone will find it boring, objectionable, or read it at all.
I thank the Lord for a fresh new week ahead, “with no mistakes in in”,
as Anne Shirley would say, and I look forward to all the blessings
God has in store. 🙂
Have a blessed week!
xoxo

Thank you! and, Thanks so much for stopping by!
What a lovely gesture for your husband to do, Daisy! You are not alone. I know I am blessed beyond measure as well and, yet, I am frustrated almost daily with a lifestyle that I am not in a position to change. This trusting thing is hard for me to do! I hope you have an awesome week!
Thank you, Laura…and yes, I agree with you…this trusting thing is not easy! I so appreciate your encouraging words. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
Have a wonderful week and know you are inspiring. Your husband is very sweet.
Thank you for that kind comment! It means a lot. 😊
What a lovely thing for him to do! One more thing to be thankful for – a thoughtful, caring husband. 🙂 Enjoy those beautiful roses, keep trusting and giving it over, and have a wonderful week Daisy! ❤
The rose is beautiful. It was so sweet of your husband to buy the flowers for you.
He really is the best! He’s always doing stuff like that. 😊
Daisy–I love you for being so open and honest. The words that stuck with me are “a constant giving-it-over-to God, type of thing.” praying for you in that. We are in our own uncertain times these days, I go from resting in God’s provision to being an anxious mess. You are so dear– I hope and pray the situation comes around to show you blessings ahead friend. xox
Thank you for that, Rhonda! You are always so sweet and so encouraging. I appreciate your prayers so much, and I will do the same for you. Xoxo
thank you friend. You really are so dear. xo
