It's all good

Happy Holiday Weekend everyone!!!

This week has been a very full week! I'm so thankful that a relaxing weekend with my family and friends is in my future!

This week I was driving my sweet Mommy Mini-van with the air conditioning blowing in my face - stressing about the issue of the moment (I've already forgotten what it even was!) and I saw a couple sitting at a bus stop talking on a nearby pay phone (I didn't even know those things still existed!). My heart went out to them. I didn't see a car anywhere near them. The woman was the one on the phone and her head was in her hand. The young man was leaning on the pay phone stand - obviously trying to tell her what to say to the person on the other end of the phone.

They looked sad and in despair. I quickly prayed for them. I figured that their conversation more than likely had something to do with finances. They are at a bus stop, no car in sight, they obviously had no cell phone.

I immediately realized that whatever "hardships" I was dealing with in that moment were minor. I thanked God for my incredible car, for air conditioning, for my BlackBerry laying beside me in my console, for my healthy kids sleeping in the backseat and for a wonderful loving husband that had put some running around cash in my purse earlier that morning.

Later in the week I went jogging and hear this song coming through my iPod. I know I programmed it into my purple little Shuffle - but for some reason - I REALLY heard it for the first time this week and it totally ministered to me. I hope it does the same for you.
