My Cup Overflows

I am feeling compelled to take the time to thank the Lord for all the ways He has shown me His love. I am stunned and saddened by the tragic loss of a woman in our community this week. I pray for her family that they knew how much they were loved by her. I can't comprehend the suddenness of her death and pray that her kids and husband have no regrets about their last day or hours together.

No regrets...that is how I want to spend my days with my husband, kids, family and friends. The night she died, Skip and I went to bed angry over something trivial (my excessive blog usage...if you must know). I immediately regretted our night while I pondered her last moments with her family. Life changes instantly. It could all end tomorrow. I want to praise God for my today. I want to trust Him with my tomorrows. I want to live with no regrets.

Lord, thank you for today. Today You have granted me favor. You have shown Your lovingkindness through incredible friendships, an awesome church, my kid's snuggles and hugs, my husband's words of affirmation (way to go, honey!) , impromptu conversations, encouragement from two amazing moms, shared laughter with my kids. Lord, I know there is more, but I feel so blessed. Today was a great day. My cup runneths over..
