These past days leading up to the end of the year have been the most trying times of this year for us. From our pregnancy loss to unnecessary car problems, the troubles just seem to pile up higher and higher. Prayers have changed from tear filled blubber to pleading for help ... SOS to Heaven. While we have not found ourselves waking up to riches in the literal form such as winning the lottery or our money tree finally sprouting the thousand dollar bills, we have found a sense of peace and creating our own silver lining to our current circumstances.
Each day this week I have been without a car, while that seems petty it really is not when considering that my 10 hour a day job is a nice 30 minute drive from our home. Matt has been a super trooper hauling me to and from work daily, which is quite a shake up to his daily routine and not to mention a trek outside of his every day route. Within this crazy headache we have found a simple bliss in the time we are getting to spend together. Our morning bugle blares a good hour before our normal wake up call, yet we are enjoying that time spending it with each other. Breakfast together and the 30 minute drive to work helps to set a delightful tone to the day, and the drive home is a much needed rescue from the daily stresses of my job by my Knight in Shining Nissan Frontier.
The joy and small delights in our time together are what I have decided to focus on in the wake of all this uncontrollable series of misfortunes. It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man. (Psalm 118:8) I am most thankful that I have the loving arms of my husband in which to be held while trusting and taking refuge in God.
...We thank you God for all of our many blessings that daily we take for granted and ask that you continue to bless and keep us safe and in good health. -Amen
