Just For Today...

These past few weeks have been complicated, trying, tiresome, exhausting...yet I am exhilarated, amused, happy, and blessed.  Over the past 7 weeks I have all of the following:

• The loss of one grandmother-sudden and not expected
• The hospitalization of the other (she is now home and fine)
• Watched one of my dearest friends lose a grandmother too...
• Surgery on my grandfather down south
• The flu hit my child and 12 of my 17 staff members to whom I call family
• Found out my father-in-law will be starting dialysis anytime now
• Watched my child undergo an adenoidectomy and have her 2nd set of tubes inserted with NO issues which included a meal to Chick-Fil-A right after per HER request!
• Slept in the bathroom with my hands hovered around the toilet thanking GOD that he had allowed Cassie to clean it the week before as the severe stomach bug that my little toddler brought home in mild form on her, was like a beast on me.  

Though I didn't plan any of these challenges to arise in my already jam packed schedule of a life, I am learning that God wants me to take it Day By Day.  He wants me to not stress about the things that I don't have, but more so on the things that I do. I  came across this quote on one of my Grandmother Martha's devotionals. (I am now the keeper of her daily study bible) and I love it...

"Just for today, I will be unafraid.  Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that I give the world, so the world will give to me."
