Quiet and Calm, no work to be done. I find myself contemplating on Jesus.  My blessed Savior who died for me so I could live in Heaven.  It's been a beauitful, quiet day.  Birds have been chirping, I hear ducks quacking and the sound of crickets outside. 

Today really has helped me understand the importance of this blessed Sabbath day.  It reminds me of love, forgiveness of my own sinful ways and renewal of mind and spirit through Jesus Christ.  I'm not perfect in any way, in fact, it's the mere reason I need Him. 

He is my all, the love of my life, who in troubled times, comes to my defenses, forgives me when I let Him Down, and loves me UNCONDITIONALLY at times when others, as humans, have conditions. He celebrates with me, pushes me to overcome obsticles to be the woman HE wants me to be, holds my hand and pulls me up when I'm weary and knows my innermost desires.

While I can't graps EVERYTHING about my heavenly father, and at times I get SO confused when I try to grasp the mere thought of the Trinity as my human mind can only understand it, I find myself grateful for each day ,for the people in my life, the beauty of this world, while also being able to touch the lives and environment that surrounds me in order to bring some kind of light to a world that's so lost.  For it has nothing to do with me, but it is HE who saves the world.  I can only be used as this broken, imperfect vessel with hopes that maybe one day, I may make my Father proud.

Following His biggest commandment to Love the Lord my God with all my heart, mind and soul and loving others as I would myself.  That means loving everyone who may have hurt me just as I may have hurt others in the past.  That means forgiving even those who have hurt me as I have also hurt . For I am saved only by grace and the love of a perfect Savior. Whom without HIS forgiveness and HIS love, I'd be living in hell.  So it is my obligation to love and forgive others.  And so I shall.

Yes, ((sigh of gratefulness)) I've had so much time to grasp just how much I REALLY have.  What life really means when I have a loving Father who supports me and speaks to me.  I am abundantly blessed with much.

Blessings to you all!
