God in my everyday life

After spending some time away from my weekly routine, I realize how much I have been blessed in my life. I saw some amazing things in Orange County, including some lifestyles way above my own. At the same time, while I was around town, I saw stress in a lot of peoples faces and I see the same thing here in Columbia.

Even though I may not have a lot of material things, God has blessed me with so much more that money can buy. I have a wonderful wife that I love so much. He has given me three amazing sons that continue to grow in the Lord. He also takes care of all our needs in ways that I cannot describe. Matthew 6:33 says it all for me:

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matt 5:33 (NLT)

Be thankful today for what God has done and always seek after Him!
