Happy Easter!

When you spend a lot of time confined to a bed, not able to do very much physically, you start to notice the smaller things around you.  Even though the weather is cool I LOVE to sleep with the window cracked.  At night the only noise that can be heard might be a dog barking in the distance, or crickets in the night and occasionally a tree frog by the pond.  What is so cool is that the birds are all asleep and nestled in their nests for the night but as soon as first light starts to appear the singing begins.  I love the songs they each sing.  I wonder if they are singing praises to God and we don't even know it.  Wouldn't that be so cool!  


There are times in each of our lives that God allows us to be limited in some ways maybe that is physically, financially or even emotionally we feel bankrupt or completely at the bottom.  The great thing about this is what God does to compensate for those times.  He heightens other areas of our lives that need a tweak.  I think it's kind of similar to being blind, the other senses are more aware.  Don't be sad or angry for what you don't have right now, look around you at what you do have.  You will be amazed at the beauty and abundance of life that is around you.  God will take care of you, He will.  You must believe that He will.


This morning is Easter it's dark and wet outside but I still hear the birds singing beautifully even in the rain!  Thank you God for their  songs!!

Thanks for posting this. I so totally understand what this post is about. I am there, and I can truly take what little I have and make the best of it. Even though its not what I want, or comfortable with. I have made the best with what I have at the present time.
I am praying for you. I know God is using you to bless others like me. Thanks,
