Rejoice Always ...


Here is the understatement of the year, "Somedays are better than others".

It seems like over the last couple of weeks, our family has been on a roller coaster of good days and bad days ~ the good days are fun, easy and carefree --- the bad days are tough, emotional and full of difficult decisions.

This past week, we've had to make one of those difficult decisions regarding our home back in Colorado; after much prayer and talking, we have decided to sell our Colorado dream home at a financial loss - very tough, very emotional and very upsetting to have to make that decision.

God tells us in I Thessalonians 5:18, In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

With that verse in mind, we decided to 'celebrate' the pending sale of our home by going out to have some 'Family Fun' at a local garden - we had so much fun and it was truly uplifting to see the children have such a great time - it was refreshment for our souls to see the smiles on their faces.

Life is certainly exciting - in a scary roller coaster sort of way - one never knows what is just up over that next hill.

Thank you Father for your blessings, leadership, and love for us. Please help us be who you want us to be in all situations, good and bad. ~ Amen

My friend, bless you and may God give you the perfect peace that only He can provide!
