How Great is Our God

"Life isn't  fair"... how many times have we heard that in our lifetime? so many tmes that they simply cannot be counted. Even though those words are familiar, it make them any easier to deal with. life isn't fair.I was talking with one of my best friends this morning and we were going over this weeks crisis and  thought hit me... this too shall pass. My mom used to say this to me hen I was growing up and she still reminds me of this truth now that I am grown woman.

There are 2 truths to life being unfair:
1- It reminds us of our need for the Lord ad the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
2- This, too, shall pass.

The Lord is our provider, need meeter, comforter, strong town, shelter and the source of our peace! So, the "Life osnt fair" part of life, is actually just a good reminder of how great our God is!

Here's to a lifetime of great memories!

This past weekend, my family and I went Branson to see the Christmas lights. It was an amazing sight, as it is every year. I did have another "Wow" moment, though... There is this huge Christmas tree in the middle of Silver Dollar City that lights up and "dances" to music. It is an overwhelming sight for sure. For those of you who have been to see it, you know exactly what I am talking about. We strolled both of our kids to a good place by the tree and waited for the music to begin. We had about 1500 people to our left, 1500 to our right and about 500 people to our front and back. It was crowded to say the very least. But when the music began, all of that seemed to fade away. Lights started flashing all around us and we were surrounded by pure magic! The most magical moment, for me, was when I looked down at my children watching the huge tree. They were captivated. Both of their mouths were wide open as they did their best to take it all in. I felt my begin to open as I tried to take in the beautiful sight I was looking at... my kids...

My parent have been taking my sister and I to Branson and to Silver Dollar City since we were born. I have walked those streets a million times and have seen that tree... well... at least 31 times! I remember the spell of the City and the excitment of the crowds. I have the same feeling now that I did when I was 11;however, the reasoning is different. I used to feel those emotions because of the memories is brought back for me, now I feel them because of the memories I know my children are making. It is an amazing this to watch your children make the same memories in thier childhood that I have about mine. It was an overwhelmeing feeling to say the least.

I am thankful for parents who gave me such a blessed childhood with experiences that continue to make my life rich and I am thankful for my husband who provides for us to do the same for our children.

Here is to a lifetime of great memories!
