Change

I keep waiting for life to get back to normal, and when I look around, my life has been like this for about 25 years so this could be normal for me.  My mom is recovering from surgery here at my house, which she does every 5 years or so.  My job is in turmoil and I am in indecision about whether to stay and tough out the turmoil or just leave and go to a new place of turmoil.  I am old enough to know that no place is perfect to work.  There are problems everywhere and drawbacks to every job.  The grass is never really greener.  Sometimes we just need to go through these times, but it seems like I keep going through them.  I decided that God is trying to teach me something and He tries every 5 years or so and either I don't learn the lesson or He moves me up to the next level.  I hope I am moving up.
When it comes down to the core of it all,  life is good.  I am so thankful for my family, my job ( some people don' t have jobs),  for my relationship with Jesus and all the things that He does walk me through.  Because no matter how bad I think things are, I know that Jesus will carry me through and nothing here on this earth can take mu soul....If it kills me physically, I will just head on out of here to heaven,  if things are just hard, it will just make me stronger.  I know that I will just be so strong by the time I am 60 that there will be no stopping me then.  Today I commit to be thankful for all things.....be thankful with me....for your kids, the air you breath, your job(no matter how you feel about it) and most of all be thankful that Jesus died on the cross for all our sins.
