Even When the Enemy Means for Evil...

You [God] turn it for our good and for Your glory. You are always faithful, Lord. You are with us in the fire and in the flood. You are sovereign over us, Lord. #truth #youknowthesong

I woke up this morning with a few texts from my dad. He said he was sad. He went on to say that both his sister and brother are currently hospitalized and it worried him a lot because they are both so far from him and he doesn't know what to do. My heart just broke. I can't imagine what I would do if my sister and brother were both hospitalized at the same time with something life threatening. The Lord is faithful and He heard our prayers because we just got news that my aunt is doing a lot better today from her stroke. My uncle, on the other hand, is still in pain from his ulcer. I'm glad that he has someone to love and care for him now. Life is so unpredictable! You never know what's going to happen. I'm so grateful to serve a God who is a healer and comforter. I know my dad is a little happier now knowing his sister is better. We are all happy. My dad is so attach to his siblings. Even if they don't come visit my dad, my dad will go out of his ways to visit them. My dad's love is truly through actions. I love my dad.

All these news got me thinking. I need to start living. Take time to go places. Savor the moment. I'm so busy doing the round-a-bouts that sometimes I think life just flew me by. I don't want to look back when I'm 80 and regret that I haven't lived. Well, honestly, I've been living life but I'm sure I can always "live" more. These days, I'm trying to enjoy the little things in life that brings me happiness. It's very hard to please me but very easy to make me happy. Though contradicting, it's true. It's easy to make me happy. Speaking of happiness, below is an image that screams "happy". It's an image of Pog we took at Rock Springs Park last year. I feel like I just took this not too long ago. Where have the time gone? Again, life is just flying by! All that said, Lord, thank You for this wonderful reminder. Thank You for all that You've done for me.
