Isnt Life Grand

You know sometimes in life we have trials and tribulations and we have to figure which road to take. Even the working class is being affected by the economy in today's market. You think how did I create such a mess for my family and how did I make such a great decision that would affect our lives. Then you have to take a step back and wonder well if it is only financial I can handle it.If your family still has their health and you are their together going through the bad times you will make it through.
As I sat in the office today and looked at the foreclosures in our area and saw that it isn't that bad.... and you think it isn't that bad???? What about the families it is affecting.. and what about the help our government was suppose to hand to the working class? So then you get to think well if we only had more help and who do you get the help from. We in America have gotten away from helping each other except in any kind of huge crisis that affects the country like 9-11-2001.... or a great storm such as Katrina... so okay why does it take something like that to help other Americans in need. I know many may say well I didn't know the family up the street didn't have any food for the kids tonight or no money for clothes but isn't that because we are too involved with our selves??? I know I am preaching to myself as well. We all get so busy with our own lives we don't look for those whom may be in need. I want my kids to know and understand that even though we may not being doing well, I want them to seek for someone they can help; even if it is being a friend.
Now everything in our life isn't perfect far from it. With financial to health issues which is currently affecting my personal life I still try and look for positive in my daily life. I know through the storms of my life I long and have a burning desire to be closer to Christ. I want to lean on Him more then I ever have in my life. I want my kids to see this so they can look back and say hey mom trusted Christ to pull her through the tough times.
You I finished reading the book 90 Minutes in Heaven the other night and I have to tell you,I got excited about what going to Heaven will be.. I know for now my life is here and that I have not finished my journey on earth; but I know the day I am I will be entering his gates. Oh what a day of rejoicing that will be!!! With Christmas fast approaching you kind of look back and think where has this year gone, what have I done this year that is gonna make a difference in the kingdom in heaven.. So life is grand and it doesn't matter what trials and tribulations you may all be facing Christ is the way and the only way into Heaven. Trust in Him today and your life will never be the same.
