Psalms 77:1-10

1 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.

2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.

3 I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.

4 You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.

5 I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;

6 I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked:

7 “Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?

8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?

9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”

10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.

I CRY …..

verse one above: 1 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.

Let us remember to call out to God. I cry because things don’t happen the way I think, but I remind myself God is right here. He hears me and knows what is best. I’ve learned to balance my thoughts.

Younger years:

I didn’t understand why my dad died at the age of 53 and I was 18. I felt that wasn’t fair. I remember standing on my porch and thinking he would drive around the corner after work. Yet, he never did. After my dad’s funeral, people from his church came over. Someone from his church said to me, God needed him more than you do. I went quickly into my bedroom and cried! I just didn’t understand that statement. I didn’t go to church but i quickly became mad at God. I felt that was selfish if that why God took my dad. That’s a 18 year old mind.

Fast forward to a 68 year old mind.

Time for Everything

There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2 

    a time to be born and a time to die,

Life ~ God created us to live but there comes a time to live with God in Heaven. Counting blessings of a new day and doing my best daily to share God’s love through example.

Yes, my dad was in a better place and I learned a lot over life. One day at a time.

Blessings, Sparkie
