By the subject line, we appear to have been here before. It seems like most Sunday evening's reflection comes in the form of looking at a whole new week and trying to anticipate and prepare for the challenges therein. It's the sad realization that 'fun time' is over for the week and now we're arguably forced to begin the cycle of responsibilities that make our worlds go 'round.
Maybe this is backwards.
Maybe the attitude should be that we 'get' to work for the things which provide for the tangible blessings in our lives, like homes, cars and food. However, too many times we can find ourselves in a rut, not appreciating the blessings God has given us, nor the blessing of the means (employment) to continue a specific lifestyle. Sometimes, when we find ourselves in debt, overextended, over-committed or stressed to the point our backs are against the wall, it's easy to look at the blessings in our lives and count them as curses. It's easy to feel trapped or enslaved.
So tonight, I choose to lay my head down knowing that:
1. God is still on the throne and he loves me
2. I choose to be happy that I've been blessed with a great job and wonderful peers
3. Although I'm underwater in debt, God has a plan for our finances
4. I accept the fact that I'm not in control of much, but I can choose my own attitude
5. I believe that God knows the purpose for my life and he'll reveal it in due time
6. Out of the 6.8 Billion (309 Million in the US) people in the world today, greater than 99% of them would switch lives with me in a second.
Good Night
