1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in all circumstances."
This is the verse that I long ago chose to try to live by each day.
In our nearly 62 years together Joe and I have weathered a few bumps. There was the death of his twin brother, the death of our wonderful grandson, the summer we both had shingles, surgeries for Joe. Bad readctions to preventative medications that sent me to the hospital several times and a son who is a family drop-out to list a few, but I have never had a day when I couldn't find things to be thankful for and I send little thought prayers to God throughout the day especially for little things that so easily could be taken for granted.
In my daily devotional time I always rejoice and give thanks to God for the gift of Jesus and for the Holy Spirit and for the Bible.
I am especially glad for the promise of eternal life. I know that when I enter the next realm, I will be surrounded by great love.
