I am Blessed.

I was walking outside taking care of our animals this morning.
The breeze was frigid, but my heavy coat kept me warm, except where it wasn't covering me. I looked around and the wind was blowing the pine trees, the little old corn was swaying in the wind... The sun shone across my face giving a bit of warmth, but just for a second, as it moved quickly away. There was no noise except that of the wind.
I carried in one hand a bucket of water and in the another a bucket of animal feed. A rooster crowed, breaking the silence. Then followed, the 'maaaing' of goats. I smiled and thought to my self that I am so thankful to be where I am today.

I learned today, in a deeper way, to be thankful in my present circumstances and not base my happiness in the future.

For if the future is our happiness, when the future does come, we will be only thankful for that and realize that we nothing to look forward to, since this what we have been looking forward all our lives and had our happiness based on that- the future, not what is happening in the present.
We should base our happiness on glorifying and enjoying God in the present for the good of our future. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."~1 Corinthians 10:31

God will give us our future in His timing!

In the mean time, look at what you are doing now- do all you do now for God's glory, spread the Truth, and praise the Lord for all His blessings upon you!
