That was me to my two fantastic daughters, Julie and Ember, this morning. We had planned to go shopping, but our fav store closed on us early, and we ended up eating the best French fries ever at I Heart Fries. I asked our conversation questions as we laughed and enjoyed each other, and I was reminded of how blessed I am not just to have two daughters, but two awesome friends (HUGE SMILE). Our fierce babes’ alliance remains strong where we not only take away strengths from each other (iron sharpens iron, baby!), but we continuously work on our weaknesses as well. Like Julie told me this week that I’m very inconsiderate sometimes (ouch!) and when I thought about it, she was right, I can be gentler and more loving in my speech and actions. Thanks, boo! Constant improvement!
Right before that, though, I had the sweetest God wink! Yesterday, I went to my old Facebook page to select a photo to reshare. Of all the pics, I selected one that said, “You are NOT ALONE; You have God.” Fast forward to that evening, we were in a parking lot waiting on someone, and I said let me have a quick appointment with God,and of all my meditation books, and of all pages, look what showed up as if He was speaking directly to me:
“Never alone; you know that.” – He and I
Once again that His sweet way of reminding me that HE IS ALWAYS WITH ME. The book continued:
“Then let it be a source of strength to you. Strength to speak to Me, since I am there. Strength to act, since I can help you, particularly when you speak to others. Ask Me to speak through you. Never alone! What a joy for you! Could you ever thank Me enough?” – He and I
Never! Every night, I get on my knees to say, “God, Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!” Through the good, bad and ugly, I see everything is all from the hands of an extremely LOVING God who knows exactly the experiences we need to become our best selves.
