Happy Thankgiving

I will hopefully actually update the blog with news on the various ministries like Widow's Mite, Mocrea, Orphan sponsors next week I hope, but for this moment I just wanted to share where I am at this point in time. Today is Thanksgiving and I do not remember a Thanksgiving day when I felt more thankful.

I was just trying to analyze this "feeling" ...well it is not exactly a feeling but rather a state of being. Does that make sense?  It can't be because I am pain free...but God is here with me comforting me. It can't be because I know how I will be able to fund all the different aspects of the ministry in 2019...but I know God provides provision for the vision. It can't be that my life as a grandmother of lovely young women is drama free...but I know it will all work out. It is not because all the people I care about are without disastrous things going on in their lives...but I know God is in the midst of their trials and He loves them and wants the best for them.

So what is this?  Perhaps it is just being content with where my life is and where it may go. Knowing I have been blessed and it is well with my soul. I am in a place at this moment in time that I want to abide in, a place I never want to leave.  For me this evening has been a mountaintop experience...with actually nothing really changing at all, nothing that could be described as spectacular or miraculous. I am thankful for this oasis and rest.
