Have you noticed that just when life gets the busiest, your attention is grabbed by “bombshell” news that once again tends to divide rather than uplift? So in the midst of late graduations, weddings, and the beginning of summer vacations, we are hit with political upheaval once again. It has become a way of life for us and I for one, am tired of it. So I have decided to live in the moment, focusing on the blessings I experience every day.

It’s easy to overlook sunny weather, food on the table, phone calls from loved ones, a good health report, time spent with family, and the blessing of just another day when I am focused on yet another divisive news story. I choose to live with thankfulness and in the “joy of the Lord.” After all, He is in control of it all and I can trust in Him.

So when those nagging doubts and worries about tomorrow try to creep into your mind, remind yourself of Who truly controls it all, and live in His peace.

God bless – Sue
