Musings

I just came home from work. Friday! The weekend is here! Nobody is home...The  cold air outside is quickly forgotten as I enter the house. Beaux greets me, happy to have company.  Dogs are great. They love unconditionally, and are loyal friends. A little nub of a tail wiggles constantly, and her whole body shows her joy as she waits for my acknowledgement. I lean forward and give Beaux a pet and greet her with happy sounding words. She settles in at my feet as I sit at the table. All is well in her world. What a picture of contentment. What can I learn from her? To trust my Lord, like Beaux trusts me? To be content, allowing Him to be my my peace? I speak those words but are they real to me? I want them to be. I can only be obedient to the Word, and trust that He will make it real. I read the promises of God, and repeat them to myself waiting for the truth of those words to sink into my very being, to have them become more a part of my being than life.  I pray for my family, asking the Lord to keep them in His Hands. Mold us all, Lord, to Your image.
Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.... I believe, Lord...
