A morning of God's love:

So yesterday at church the message from Perry was on being satisfied, and I really enjoyed the sermon, but today I got to kind of see his message in action. I had just dropped the kids off for school and I was traveling my normal route to try to bypass school traffic from other schools when I saw it. I turned down my usual back road and went around the curve. When I got around this curve I always look to my left because there is a beautiful grey house with white columns and an amazing landscaped front yard. A two car garage and everything is always neat and in its place. When I pass this house every morning I think to myself; this house is amazing, it's so organized, and I wish I lived here. However this morning when I rounded the curve I looked to my left and noticed this amazingly beautiful home didn't appear to be as inviting today. The garage obviously had caught fire over the weekend and burned the back part as well as part of the house, now the house did not seem so inviting. The house I loved, wished so bad I could have for my own, I no longer wanted. Why? It was material, it was brief, and God said look it can all be gone in an instant. I feel dreadful for the family that lives there, as they will need to reconstruct their home from the burn damage, but it kind of was a message to me even though it wasn't my home. God was telling me in my heart, that the biggest and best of everything is not always so great and can vanish in the blink of an eye. So it hit me where it hurts and I realized, I have an amazing life. I have a God sent husband and two beautiful children that I adore. I have my baby Rex on the way and God is amazing. I am blessed and God has me right where "he" wants me. So as of today I will stop looking outward for ways my life could be more blessed, because as the old saying goes, "the proof is in the pudding," and my life is blessed.
