As most individuals this year has already been a blur of meeting life's demands and trying to stay on top of resolutions that I set for myself. Some that were the Lord driven and others that I set for myself.
In all of this choas, I have noticed a nasty habit coming back. Yelling. Yelling at my spouse, my children, the dog, myself when I miss something, and the Lord when I think he has it wrong. This weekend my husband had the majority of it off. Which has seemed to happen more often lately.
Anyways, I got to spend more time alone with the Lord. He has been reminding me that we are called to live a life with a spirit of praise and thanksgiving to him. In whatever we do, we need to praise him. This has made the annoying and most frustrating parts of my life today, more bearable and peaceful. It is all because of Him. I have already cleaned my living room four times because of my boys. The constant needing to wash dishes, do laundry, fold, and more cleaning would have me yelling last week. But this week, instead I am praising him. I am singing songs I havent heard in years because I am just singing whatever comes to mind. I am praising him and my spirit is so thankful. I could probably list a 100 things that he has blessed me with. So get praising and if you need some reminding like I did read Psalm 150. It is such a great reminder of how we are supposed to live.
Have a wonderful Monday.
