What other rewards have come to me as a result of my new way of living? Each one of us can answer this question in many ways. My relationship with my husband or my wife is on an entirely new plane. The total selfishness is gone and more cooperation has taken its place. My home is a home again. Understanding has taken the place of misunderstanding, recriminations, bickering, and resentment. A new companionship has developed which bodes well for the future. "There are homes where fires burn and there is bread, lamps are lit and prayers are said. Though people falter through the dark and nations grope, with God Himself back of these little homes, we still can hope." Have I come home?
Meditation for the Day
We can bow to God's will in anticipation of the thing happening which will, in the long run, be the best for all concerned. It may not always seem the best thing at the present time, but we cannot see as far ahead as God can. We do not know how His plans are laid, we only need to believe that if we trust Him and accept whatever happens as His will in a spirit of faith, everything will work out for the best in the end.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may not ask to see the distant scene. I pray that one step may be enough for me.

Ahhh the rewards!!!! Some days its hard to see that especially on the financial front! But, today, I AM paying ALL my bills and still have some, not much today, money left! Its a great feeling to be on top of everything and the only reason the phone is ringing is because there is an election going on!!! Things are looking up and I am grateful for that today. My relationships are blooming and its only by the grace of God I am where I am today....The great news, my son got all A's and daughter got all A's one B!!!! Halleluia!! Things do change for the better when I just open my eyes and pay attention!!!!
