Peace be with you in all times. Psalm 34:8

Posted on by Just broken

Psalm 34:8 (NLT)
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!

Psalm 46:1 (NLT)
1 God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.

Two years ago about a few hours earlier from this 5:30 AM time, our daughter was no longer with us. Our children’s sister was no longer with us. Our granddaughter’s mother was no longer with us. Our lives changed in ways we could never fathom. The lives of our children changed in ways we could never fathom. The life of our granddaughter changed in ways we could never fathom.

Two days ago a truck driver carrying one of our loads was found dead in his truck. Many lives were changed in ways they likely could never fathom.

Many, many, families will be impacted as the homeless are recovered out of the current cold snap.

The world keeps going forward, never slowing down or noticing beyond a few ripples in the pond.

God knows though. He knows the pain because he came amongst us, because he knows our hearts, he knows our souls, he knows our hurts. In Him there is security, refuge from the storms, strength to move forward in times of trouble and peace.

Christ tells us in Matthew 5:4 (NLT)
4 “God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

Claim your blessings in Christ, your peace, your joy. Know these things, hold these things, live these things. Peace be with you in all times.

Our prayers are with you T Rae, Lisa, Brig, Liam, the family of the truck driver, the families of those lost to the street, those following the ambulence, those __________….

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
