In your hands...

Just watched a movie on the request of my eldest son.......and I have to say that it was really good. But it was a tear jerker though. It was one of those that makes you think way too much and makes you feel uncomfortable and convicted all at the same time. It goes to show you that our lives are so intertwinned, we are all one big family and when one of us goes a rye it upsets the balance of the universe. I go back to say the one millionth time, that Frank Capra was a visionary in his time. He gave us "It's a Wonderful Life" and I will always be grateful. That one movie shows in a nutshell how important we all are to each other. Our seemingly small choices and decisions that we make everyday are actually more important than we even know. But God knows.....He does have the whole world in his hands. It is true, no one could ever make me believe differently. Every breathe we take is a gift and I, most of all take it for granted. What am I doing to make my life mean something, to make a difference? I will not fill up with self pity and start the downward spiral into self loathing....I am a good person and I know what I have done with my life. Exactly what the Lord had planned for me, I know this to be true. But wouldn't it be good if I had always made godly choices, maybe was kinder and more sensitive to others feelings. As a parent I know for sure that I made mistakes, my children can attest to that, they love me anyways. And my husband could for sure make a list, actually today... he could with just today! But he wouldn't...he doesn't keep score, God love him. I have friends that I am now realizing are in a lot of transitions in their lives and it is somehow comforting to see that we are not alone in our sufferings, we all go through different scenarios but the same even so. My prayer is that this Lord I speak of will go to those who are searching for the right way to go..to take that first step toward recovery or freedom or love and He will raise us up as conquers in Him. We are in your hands Lord...please don't trip!
