God is good!


This is a magnificent sunset in Louisiana. By the time I got the camera it was almost gone but I got the last bit of it on camera anyway. God creates some wonderful things. He creates some things I could do without such as snakes but who can complain with all the blessings HE has given our family. You know our family is truelly blessed. We have come through many ups and downs in our journey but I always know he takes care of us. Right now I have plenty to complain about but I choose to praise him instead. We are not rich and we definitly don't live in the most wonderful place. BUT we are all healthy and happy and we are together. Albert is being sent to umm well can't say where but not a place to be worried about though. All in all life is good and we are blessed. I know some days I get really down about not having much money but I know we will be ok. We have the most important things food, home, and family. I was reading pieces from a book online last night. The man was an extreme introvert and he craved being 'alone'. (I would go into more detail about the 'alone' but I would be able to write a novel.) His marriage finally failed because of money. She was in search of wealth and the big house with the pool and fancy car in the drive way. You know the thing some people long for. The man on the other hand was happy with his job and current home and car. Anyway in the end they couldn't find a meeting place and went their separate ways. I think with money it is never how much you have it is what you do with what you have. What is more important the big fancy house and car envy of the neighborhood or being with your family and friends? If you have faith God will always find a way to provide you with what you need and sometimes reward you with your wants. Anyway I supose that's my food for thought for today. It has been on my mind for sometime just thought I would share my thoughts with you all.
