Romans 8:28~ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
I am reminded of this everyday in some way. Things that happened to me in the past I couldn't see the good in it then, but now that I look back I can see it. Lately something my aunt and mom have talked to me about is tv shows/movies that I watch. I think it's crazy at times and sometimes do the whole huff and puff routine. Tonight I realized something, how much I am loved and cared for.
Earlier I saw Trading Spouses on tv and thought of what mom and aunt shoo shoo have said, I watched I love Lucy reruns instead. Tonight, my mom asked what I was watching, and I felt good to be able to say Akeelah and the Bee. I know it sounds childish, but I know they do things for my good. I become more aware to what I take in, because what I take in it will come out. So most may find it childish or dumb that my family 'checks in' on me, but I like it, it holds me accountable and I need that in my life.
So thanks to my hubby, my parents, my aunt and even my sister that show me different aspects of things. Sometimes we can not see how things work for the good until later in life; but sometimes we're blessed to see the good here and now. :-)

Can I ask you a question...What's wrong with Trading Spouses??
ReplyDeleteAt first I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. I suppose it's just the whole concept of swapping wives and such things. After all God who knows us better than we know ourselves, has given us a manuel on how to raise our families, why do we feel we need some stranger coming in our home to tell us how to fix it?
ReplyDeleteSorry that was me. But I just don't get it...I mean the concept of the show isn't to have someone come in and tell you how to run your fam, but more how much we take for granted. IDK I guess that's just my take on things.
