A Question!

this morning in my haste to get out of my house and get my day going, i was stopped by my neighbor. i was a little bugged because i had things to do. We started talking about the Lord and all of the little miracles he performs in our lives daily that we are to busy to notice and if we do notice we give only a fraction of a second of thought to them.

we continued our conversation. she has a son who is on break for a few weeks from the military. he is deployed in afghanistan. we began talking about how our children are not our own they belong to the Lord, and that they are only in our care temporarily. it is our duty to raise them up as God fearing children, teach them the laws, and to obey them.
all of this i know.

then she says,

what if you woke up tomorrow and only had what you thanked God for the day before?

that is the most profound question i have been asked in a very long time.
i have to be honest that slapped me hard. getting slapped {metaphorically}has been happening to me more than i'd like to admit lately.

i answered,
i would probably have nothing. i am pretty sure that yesterday i didn't thank God for anything. i just  floated through my day, said a quick prayer before bed and drifted off to dream land.

today i am working hard, as i should be doing everyday, to  thank God for everything thing in my life.
the good, the bad, and the ugly.
because i a pretty sure, No i know that God is allowing me to go through the bad and the ugly to get me to where i need to be in order to spend eternity with him.

i am thankful that she stopped me and that i listened.

my question to you...

What would you have if you woke up tomorrow and only had what you thanked God for the day before?


aren't little reminders lovely!
God is so Good!
