Victories

We should celebrate victories, small or large. Give praise to God for all the many blessings, victories, and beauty we have around us. We get so wrapped up in worrying for the next error, that we just never stop worrying. You have a victory in one aspect, and then you run onto something else to worry about it. That is not what God wants for you or me! Yes, we will have to walk through some valleys, but don’t forget God is with you and is also with you when you climb out and enjoy the victory. Do you ever just stop and appreciate the joys around you? I know I have to do this a lot more. Look up at the night sky and just see behold the beauty of the stars. Take a deep breath in the basking of the morning sun glistening on the leaves. Listen to the birds singing without a care in the world. Enjoying the happy antics of a dog. Savor the smiles of your children or spouse. Just enjoy, smile, and enjoy the moment God has given you. Just stop, breathe, and thank God for the victories in life.

“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”

Matthew 11:28-29
