The Need for Speed

| 2 Comments

I know that God watches over me and hears me in my cries and plaints. Tears have been shed, a lot of them, over a certain circumstance in my life. But Sunday, with a phone call and visit from the people involved, so much changed.

Immediately I said, “God, I thank You for this.”

I have always been quick to ask, but slow to thank when I realize that God has intervened in my life and done something that I thought impossible. But I must remember, With Him, all things are possible.

I do believe that I need a nudge to be quick to thank. I resolve to do better.

  1. I am so very happy for you and that your prayers we answered and it moved you so much that you bowed you head to give thanks. I seem to pray for Peace and Love only and always say thanks for all I have which mind you is not a lot but I am rich by many others standards :) We are BLESSED :)

  2. I’m so glad to read this, Maggie. Much love your way. And yes, we all have to remind ourselves, sometimes, to say thank you.

Write. Talk. Tell me everything.
