Be joyful always

1 Thess 5:16-18 NIV

16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.


This is a scripture that is near and dear to my heart.  It helps me remember to find the good in everything.  It is there, I just gotta look past all the pain and negativity to see it.  I cannot dwell on all of the bad that I have to face everyday.  Yes, Steven has severe Autism and he cannot live on his own or even be left by himself.  But, I have the ability to care for my child and keep him safe at home.  It breaks my heart when I think that someday I may not be able to care for my child and he will live elsewhere.  He may be 18 and taller than me, but he is my "little" boy.  The picture was taken down in the Smokies and it is so easy to be thankful and prayerful when looking at it.  Such beauty.   Today, my boy is not feeling well.  It has been such a bad year for sinus and allergy trouble.  He goes back to school on Monday, so we will see how he is doing.
