GRUMBLING OR GRATITUDE

which is my category,
iam faced with two choices everyday for every situation.
Most often on grey days iam murmuring but remind myself to thank the almighty for His mercies which saved me from the worse.On sunny days ,ofcourse iam always sending messages of gratitude to the Lord.
It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night." Psalm 92:1-2

When we express gratitude and thank Him , we remind ourselves of the unchanging and all controlling nature of God who works all things for our good
and we are reminded of the fleeting nature of the siyuation which so troubles us now.

IT IS GOOD TO PRAISE THE LORD.
As i type this , iam sitting in a hospital ward, all by myself, waiting for my spouse.
Iam scheduled for a major surgery tommorow, and iam already praising my Lord for the
help He has granted me.Thanks to several people who called me up and reminded me to trust in the Lord and give thanks to Him and assured me of their prayer support.

How encouraging can be words of assurance.
I praise my LOrd for all His goodness.

Hebrews 13:15 "Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

healing

iam free of those haunting thoughts, which were chasing ever since i was in waiting for the hospital report to come.Iam extremely thankful,grateful to the almighty for the added years in my life.

Reflections of the waiting time,
I watched for the morning as the watchman watches thro' the night for the dawn to come.
I listened more carefully as to what the Lord desires to share with me
I was more passionate for my quiet time with the Lord
I started interceding for others , many anonymous ones in need
I became more sensitive to those suffering

I found meaning in life , in the importance of every fleeting day
I LEANED MORE ON MY LORD AND GAVE HIM WORRIES.
How important is each day to me,
a chance of praising my Lord and
a chance to breathe His breath again,
a chance to think positive
a chance to touch others with the love that the Lord has filled me
a chance of sharing laughter with my kids and my beloved partner
a chance to fulfill many unmet desires
a chance to watch the nature's bounty
iam indebted to my God.
I want to live my life with the newness of life that comes from drawing closer to Him.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL ,MAKE THE MOST OF IT AND HELP OTHERS TO MAKE MOST OF THEIRS.
